North. The headlines tonight. The end of an era for Hull City as | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
the football club is re-branded as the Hull City Tigers. | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
Why change it? Everyone knows it as Hull City AFC. The iMac I don't | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
think we should drop the city. Campaigners call for a total ban on | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
motorists drinking alcohol before getting behind the wheel. If it was | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
a zero tolerance attitude, everyone would be aware where they stand, you | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
cannot drink and drive. The woman who says she was trapped | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
in her own home by a pair of angry seagulls. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
And the musician who's uncovered what is thought to be a piece of | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
Beatles history. I will be back later in the | :00:58. | :01:08. | |

It's been in existence for more than 100 years and next week Hull City | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
will start life back in the Premier League. But tonight, the decision by | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
the club's owners to change the team's name has been criticised as a | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
backward step. Hull City AFC is now Hull City Tigers, with the owner | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
Assem Allam saying he would eventually like to shorten it to | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
just Hull Tigers. He says it will make the club easier to market | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
:01:44. | :01:47. | ||
abroad. Simon Clark reports. Since 1904, they have been Hull City | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
AFC, but from today, the AFC is no more. No, this is Hull City Tigers. | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
If there is one thing to get fans talking, it is the name of their | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
club. So, today we have invited two of them to discuss the change. They | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
had plenty to say. The Tigers as apart from that name, the best in | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
English football. Make something of that, but make something of it by | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
clumsily merging it... My personal view is that it could have been | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
handled so much better. I am concerned that there may have been | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
some serious alienation of supporters. If there were plans are | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
put to make this fundamental change, you would expect the | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
supporters to have been consulted. marketing expert reckons the change | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
has merit. I think foreign fans new to the Premier League looking for a | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
club to support will find it is difficult to support Hull, they will | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
monitor surly know where it is, therefore find it difficult to | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
identify with that club. Whereas rebranded to the Tigers, it will be | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
:03:08. | :03:09. | ||
easier to attract new foreign fans. Councillor Terry Gerraghty, who's in | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
:03:19. | :03:30. | ||
charge of leisure and culture at Everybody knows it is Hull City AFC. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
I can understand why it is the Tigers, but I do not think we should | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
drop the city. But Mac changing brands is nothing new. Last year, | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
Cardiff City turned their home shirts from blue to red. And who can | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
forget the brief rebranding as Hull Sharks? Just a matter of the | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
football pictures. Chelsea versus Hull City Tigers, it may take some | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
getting used to. I spoke to councillor Terry | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
Geraghty, who is in charge of leisure and culture at Hull City | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
Council. I asked him if he welcomed the name change. I do, -- I do | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
nothing there needs to be any change because Hull city is branded all | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
over the world and especially no way for doing that then we are doing as | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
far as the city is concerned for the year of culture 2017, we are now | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
recognised by people down in London. Hull is the area to come to. | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
Alain says the word city is common, is he right? The Queen the stowed | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
this. That is what was invested on us many years ago. If you want the | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Tigers to compete on the world stage, win the Premier League, do we | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
not have to move with The Times? name city has been mothers for 100 | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
odd years now and I do not see any advantage. -- has been by bus. I | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
believe that there are many looking -- they may be looking to sell the | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
club, I don't know. To me, I would be thinking, what is in it to make | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
it an even bigger brand than what it has no? Do you think you might want | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
to do that you Mac no I think that might be something he is not saying. | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
If you have a brand that is known as Hull city, you do not change the | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
brand unless there is something else behind it. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
The Daily Telegraph says the name change shows a lack of respect for | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
fans. Should they have been asked to? I think so. You should have put | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
it to the fans, whether they wanted to change the name. But it would | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
have been common courtesy to get in touch with the City Council and ask | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
their opinion. I think they have done this because of other reasons. | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
It is not the reason that he is saying. Can you understand why the | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
fans are unhappy? I can. I have supported them since I was a boy. We | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
did not say, go and see the Tigers, we went to see City. Do you think | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
changing the club's name matters? Maybe you think it will make it | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
easier to market it around the world? I know several people have | :06:28. | :06:38. | |
:06:38. | :06:45. | ||
been in touch already, they are very We will have some before we are done | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
at seven o'clock. In a moment: Why campaigners in | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Louth have come up with their own plans to stop their council selling | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
land to a supermarket chain. Road safety campaigners don't want | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
people to have any alcoholic drinks at all if they are driving. A man | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
from Hull, whose brother was killed by a drunk driver, is among those | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
demanding a total ban on motorists consuming alcohol before they drive. | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
Figures show the number of casualties in the Humberside Police | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
area is higher in August than in any other month. More from our political | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
editor, Tim Iredale. While the majority of responsible | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
drivers remain within the legal drink drive limit, a stubborn | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
minority continue to break the law and the summer months are often the | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
:07:43. | :07:43. | ||
worst time. We are trying to highlight, if you are out at family | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
barbecues and weddings, to be careful and not only about drinking | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
and driving that may, obviously that is the main message, but to actually | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
think about the morning after, are you still, diesel have alcohol in | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
your system due Mac With many teenagers hoping to celebrate after | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
getting their A-level results next week, young drivers are being warned | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
that drink and driving could ruin their big night out. Figures from | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
the Humberside force revealed the average number of drink drive | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
related casualties is 18 in August, compared to nine over the Christmas | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
period. That is when most campaigns are focused. Successive governments | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
have argued against lowering the UK drink drive limit, to bring us in | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
line with other European countries. But some campaigners would like to | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
go further and to see a total ban on drivers touching any alcohol before | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
they get behind the wheel. Stephen Meara-Blount has felt the pain and | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
misery caused by drink-driving. In 2006, he was knocked down by a | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
speeding driver on Beverley Road in Hull, along with his brother, Tony, | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
who later died in hospital. Stephen now campaigns for the road safety | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
group Brake. People take a chance, maybe one or two drinks. Not knowing | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
if they are over the limit or not. If it was a zero tolerance attitude, | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
then everybody would be aware of where they stand, you cannot drink | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
and drive. So, would these drinkers supported tougher drink drive | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
limit? I think the laws are OK as they are. Personally I think you can | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
have a pint or maybe to maximum. don't think the pubs would get any | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
trade, there would be no one driving. The Government says it | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
remains committed to educating drivers about the dangers of | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
drink-driving. Tim is with me now. So the Government says it has no | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
plans to change the law on drink-driving, but how much pressure | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
is there for a rethink? Many road safety campaigners and professionals | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
and senior police officers would like to see a zero level ban, but | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
officials from the Department for transport have told us that this is | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
not a practical option, the reason they give is that they say even | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
without drinking it is possible for small amounts of alcohol to be | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
present in the body for other -- from other sources, such as the | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
fermentation process involved in the digestive Asian of certain | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
foodstuffs, or as an ingredient in mouthwash. -- in the digester in. I | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
think pressure will come to reduce the limit in mind that other | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
European countries. You might also want to get in touch about this | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
story. Do you think a total ban on alcohol if you're driving is the | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
:10:48. | :10:48. | ||
right way to go? We look forward to hearing from you. | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
50 officers from the Serious Crime team at Humberside Police are | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
investigating an armed robbery in Beverley. More than �200,000 worth | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
of watches were stolen from a jewellers on Tuesday. The police are | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
studying hours of CCTV footage of Beverley, and the area of Hull where | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
one of the getaway cars was parked before the raid. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
There's been a rise in the number of 999 calls attended by private | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
ambulances in the area covered by the East Midlands Ambulance Service. | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Officials say they're now investing �4 million in their own new | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
ambulances to meet increasing demand. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
They want to protect Louth from commercial development. But | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
campaigners have come up with their own plans for developing its cattle | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
market. For years there has been speculation that East Lindsey | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
District Council would sell the site to a supermarket. Instead the | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
community group Keep Louth Special wants to turn the area into an | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
activity park, as Simon Spark reports. | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
As market towns go, Louth was voted one of the best last year. But there | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
are still ongoing issues about what will happen to its cattle market | :11:50. | :11:59. | |
site. One community group desperate not to see it turn into a possible | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
supermarket have now come up with their own alternative plans. The | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
group Keep Louth Special want to see a climbing wall, cafes, shops and an | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
hotel outside, and inside, the cattle market would double up as a | :12:09. | :12:18. | |
live music venue. This is where the climbing wall would be. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
supermarket is convenient. A lot of people would want it here. This is a | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
bad site for the survival of the town, as a centre for independent | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
shopping. We have seen it in many other towns across the country. All | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
the character gets bleached out by the supermarket. This site can | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
continue to provide the agricultural focus and the community focus. | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
many today, this was the first they'd heard of these new proposals. | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
I would not have thought we would need any more shops. I think the | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
climbing wall is quite good. Sue-mac people have to go into Grimsby or | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
Skegness if they want to do a really big shop. I think it looks good. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
Anything is better than a supermarket. We have nothing to do | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
with our kids around here and we have plenty of supermarkets. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
Eastland Council say they have taken no decision, but are currently | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
seeking advice to inform a decision as to whether it should be made | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
available. They add, "Once the advice is received, the council will | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
consider its position. If in the future, the site is made available | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
for sale or lease, the District Council would be keen to hear from | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
any organisation or business which would be interested in the site, | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
including Keep Louth Special." For now, the wait on this cattle | :13:32. | :13:42. | |
:13:42. | :13:44. | ||
market's future continues. A story that we will continue to | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
follow. Still ahead tonight: The woman who | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
claims aggressive seagulls made her a prisoner in her own home. | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
These are the trousers that Paul McCartney used to wear. And how a | :13:59. | :14:02. | |

Right, the weekend weather, a mixed bag, not too bad. Not a wash-out, | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
but not blazing sunshine. Variable amounts. Sunday, the greater risk of | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
catching showers. The odd shower, but generally there will be no | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
proper rain. Perhaps a little on Saturday night but the showers will | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
be hit and miss. Earlier today, the cloud is well broken, lots of | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
sunshine to end the day but it is rather breezy. Fine as we had | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
through this evening with long, clear spells. It might be an little | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
more cloud filters up from the south. These are the values in the | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
towns and cities. I think out in the countryside, particularly where we | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
keep the clear skies, it will be cooler. The sun will rise at 5:31am, | :15:42. | :15:51. | |
setting again at 8:42pm. The next high water... It should start the | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
day in parts of east Yorkshire on a sunny note. More cloud across | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
Lincolnshire. Variable amounts of cloud, at times fairly cloudy, but | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
there will be a lot of rightness and spells of sunshine. The showers are | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
very hit and miss, you will be unlucky if you catch one. | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
Temperatures leading to around 20 Celsius. Around 20, 21. The greater | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
risk of catching a shower on Sunday and it will be a more breezy day. | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
Variable amounts of cloud as we go through the day on Sunday. It will | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
be broken and we will have a few showers to content with Allsop there | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
could be the odd heavier one. On Monday, a repeat performance. | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
Variable cloud with sunny spells. Showers on Monday tending to the | :16:38. | :16:48. | |

Have a nice weekend. It may be summer, but gritting teams | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
in Lincolnshire say they are busier now than at any other time of the | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
year. They're using new technology to map nearly 2000 miles of the | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
county's roads to make their gritters more efficient. They've | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
just taken delivery of a brand new fleet, ready for when winter sets | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
in. Caroline Bilton has been out with them. | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
Let's face it, you will not have seen one of these for a while, but | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
in a few months, they will be back, laying a vital role in keeping the | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
roads clear of ice and snow. But just because we haven't seen much of | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
the white stuff recently, it doesn't mean that our gritting teams are | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
getting to put up their feet. Two we are probably busier in the summer | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
than the winter, the amount of operation, it is the hottest day of | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
the year and we are getting ready for when it is snowing. It feels odd | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
to be talking about gritting but keeping the roads moving during the | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
winter months is an all year round job and it is not just about | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
throwing a bit of grit on the roads. There is a science behind this. To | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
prove it, we will need one of these. For the past few months, the roads | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
in Lincolnshire have been scrutinised by this computer. The | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
latest in GPS technology. These controls set the salting and the | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
width of how the salt is spread, to be membered for the future. The | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
greater will mimic what I have been putting in. Act in the office, the | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
roots are put into the computer, complete with how much salt needs to | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
be spread, depending on the width of the road. The result, precision | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
gritting. You do not need that much salt to have an effect. It is in | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
this kind of technology, this modern way of doing things, that we are | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
saving our salt and making efficiency savings that means we can | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
develop things elsewhere. Like taking delivery of 14 new critters, | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
all the way from Denmark, which will eventually be fitted with the new | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
computers, ready for the start of the new winter season, which | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
incidentally is only eight weeks away. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
Now, last night we told you about the amount of parents being fined | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
for keeping their children off school in Lincolnshire. It's a | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
number which has more than doubled after the County Council decided to | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
get tough on term time holidays and other unauthorised absences. Parents | :19:13. | :19:23. | |
:19:23. | :19:24. | ||
face fines of �60. But is that fair? Well, many people have been in touch | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
with us since. John from Lincoln says, "Parents should be fined for | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
taking children out of school for holidays. We go on holiday during | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
school term to have a quiet holiday without kids!" | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
But Marc from East Yorkshire, which also has a similar system, | :19:39. | :19:49. | |

teams meet on Sunday at Craven Park. Hull KR won the first derby of the | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
season away at FC, but were then beaten in the Magic Weekend game in | :20:14. | :20:22. | |
May, when FC won with a controversial try. We just want to | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
write a few wrongs. We have probably been guilty of not being at our best | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
previously. Very much about us this week. Looking after our fans and | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
giving them something to write about. We like playing here at the | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
like the supporters and it has been a long time. We are looking forward | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
to it. And BBC Radio Humberside will have full commentary of Sunday's | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
match on FM and online. Build-up starts at 1:30pm, with kick off at | :20:54. | :21:00. | |

A Bridlington woman says she was too afraid to spend time in her own | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
garden for fear of being attacked by seagulls. Penny Freeman actually | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
avoided leaving her house for four days because two gulls were | :21:39. | :21:47. | |
protecting a chick, which had fallen from it's nest. -- from its nest. | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
Jill Archbold reports. As British as changeable weather and | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
fish and chips, seagulls are part of England's coastline, but for one | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
Edlington woman, they have become the neighbours she never wanted. -- | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
Bridlington. Much bigger than you think and they have piercing yellow | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
eyes that look filled with hatred. You cannot attribute those emotions | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
to a bird, but that is how they look. For four days, Penny stayed | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
indoors, the reason, this young seagull chick fell from its nest and | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
to it -- too inexperienced to fight, it was aggressively protected by its | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
parents. Two there are always one or two, guarding it. You put your head | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
outside through the door and they is that much pace between your eyes and | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
a very sharp week, so I never went outside, I was too scared. Every | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
time we opened the back door, that was it, the seagull was down. It was | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
definitely wanting some action. Her brother says the birds have caused | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
problems for others on the street. Next door came out and they dive | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
bombed him, he had to beat it off with a baseball bat. For the wrong | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
person, it can be very intimidating. Two I could not do any of the things | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
I wanted to do, I was so angry about being told by a bird to stay | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
indoors. The RSPB say the end of breeding season is near, but while | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
the interest in their chicks fades, do not underestimate their taste for | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
chips! During their early performances, | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
black leather trousers and matching jackets defined the Beatles. They | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
were made by a tailor in Hamburg in Germany in the early 1960s. But when | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
Brian Epstein took over as the group's manager, he changed their | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
look to stylish suits. Well, before they hit the big time, a man from | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
Bridlington was performing with them and he ended up with a pair of Paul | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
McCartney's trousers. As Leanne Brown reports, it's thought they | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
could be worth thousands. These are the trousers that Paul | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
McCartney used to wear. The Beatles were actually Mike's support band | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
when he played a regular gig at the famous Cavern club in Liverpool, and | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
he was good friends with the group's new manager. I have a look around | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
the dressing them, and the trousers were in a bag, hanging up. Brian | :24:23. | :24:32. | |
headstones, those are all McCartney's trousers, have them. I | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
will get them into these suits I have organised. From then on, the | :24:36. | :24:45. | |
Beatles started wearing smart suits. It was a bit sort of old hat anyway. | :24:45. | :24:53. | |
So, we didn't want to look ridiculous. Brian suggested that we | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
wore ordinary suits. A leather jacket owned by George Harrison | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
recently sold for more than �110,000, his custom-made boots for | :24:59. | :25:09. | |
:25:09. | :25:09. | ||
�60,000 and a Beatles guitar for �40,000. They are highly | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
collectable, the Beatles, the greatest pop band ever, so their | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
fans all over the world really do go to auction to get the choice pieces | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
when they come up. Looking back at photos, the trousers' unique style | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
is clear to see. This picture was taken at the Catherine club in 96 | :25:28. | :25:38. | |
:25:38. | :25:39. | ||
D1. -- the Cavern club. It is like a fingerprint, almost. Exactly the | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
right inside leg measurement and exactly the right waist measurement. | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
They went to a small, independent Taylor in hamburg. They commissioned | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
the trousers to be made. That is what makes these trousers so very | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
individual. The family hope they could now go to a museum, so | :25:55. | :26:03. | |
everyone can enjoy the story they have to tell. | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
Good to know that the trousers were verified by the inside leg | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
measurement of Paul McCartney! Let's get a recap of the national | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
and regional headlines. An investigation begins into the | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
Government's controversial posters telling illegal immigrants to "go | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
home". The end of an era for Hull City as | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
the football club is re-branded as the Hull City Tigers. | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
Tomorrow's weather, sunny spells and a few showers possible. A gentle | :26:26. | :26:36. | |
:26:36. | :26:36. | ||
westerly breeze with highs of 21 Celsius. | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
Response on the subject of Hull city, Paul said, I hope the fans do | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
not turn on Assem Allam. Let's not forget how much of a state the club | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
was in when he took over. Paul says, yet another owner hoping to get a | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
foothold in the Far East market. An expensive way to find out that they | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
all support Man United and Chelsea. The name change has riled | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
supporters, it may not be for ever, look at the Hull Sharks, that didn't | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
last long. The response for this story. Good idea, the name change, | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
but dropped the City. Hull Tigers would be a good brand worldwide. | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
Gary says, he has shown total disrespect to the fans, we were here | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
before he came and will be here when he is gone. He does not own the | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
club's soul. Frank is watching in Spain, he says, Assem Allam owns the | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
club and he can call it what he likes. The council should keep their | :27:31. | :27:36. |
