Hull fans group City Till We Die will meet owner Assem Allam on Friday to debate his proposal to rename the club Hull Tigers, reports BBC Sport. Allam revealed in the summer he wanted to rebrand the club and ditch the current Hull City AFC name, which has stood for 109 years.
A statement from the group read: "City Till We Die campaigners will be urging Dr Allam to reconsider his decision to change Hull City's 109-year-old name, explaining that it is an important part of the local community, and that a rebrand to "Hull Tigers" is not necessary to market the club more successfully."
