Hull City owner Assem Allam has offered to refund season-ticket holders who are unhappy about the name change he has proposed.
While the club's 'playing name' is still Hull City AFC, Allam changed the company name to Hull City Tigers earlier this year.


He is now intending to have the playing name altered to Hull Tigers for next season, despite protests led by Hull fans' group City Til We Die.
Allam 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."

Hull, who are currently 12th in the Premier League standings, host managerless Crystal Palace at the KC Stadium on Saturday.
