Hull owner offers to refund season tickets over name change

Hull City owner Assem Allam is offering refunds to season ticket holders who do not believe in his push to rename the club.

While the club's 'playing name' is still Hull City AFC, Allam changed the company name to Hull City Tigers ahead of this season.

Regarding the supporters, the Egypt-born 74-year-old told the Hull Daily Mail: "There's no need for a referendum. The crowd we get inside the stadium is the perfect referendum.

"Fans can choose to vote with their feet. If they are not happy, they can stay away.

"I am also willing to refund any unhappy season ticket holder who wants their money back.

"I understand that fans have purchased or may have purchased season tickets in the expectation they were for Hull City AFC. Having learned the AFC is now not present, they are perfectly entitled to seek a refund.

"The club will be more than happy to oblige by paying them back in full, on a pro rata basis, if they are not happy with the plans to rebrand the club."
