Hull fans want end to name change speculation

The Hull City Supporters' Trust has again called on owner Assem Allam to abandon plans to change the club's name to Hull Tigers. An FA Council decision to reject the club's initial application was this week set aside by an arbitration panel.

Hull were told they could bid again for a name change next season if they reapply before 1 April.

In a statement, the supporters' group urged Allam "to abandon the name change application once and for all".

The arbitration panel found the original ruling had placed too much weight on objections from supporters.
