Touching video from Hull City fans

Most people here are probably aware of the impasse between Hull City's owner Assem Allam and the Hull City fans because Allam wants to change the name of the club to "Hull Tigers". Its a very controversial issue; while the owner 'owns' the club, surely he should be sensitive to the history of the club and the connection between the club and its fans.

The Hull City fans have responded with a very touching video which I thought I just had to share.

This article gives a bit of context for the video

That is excellent, thanks for posting it. There are some people who need to listen to this carefully because they are missing out on the core of what the football experience is.

- you don't choose your club, it chooses you (you are not a consumer making purchases)
- aspects of the name and the colours are the clubs' identity (don't mess with them, or treat them lightly)
- people who avow the above are smart enough to know football is a business

Apparently the guy who supported Monaco, Arsenal, Chelsea and now Man City says that for asserting the above I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve. While he searches for the soul of football......
