    Think the chairs thing was a joke from Baz Cooper, he mentioned in a subsequent tweet that he was joking.

    Fair enough, I only had a quick flick through Twitter earlier.

    What are posters thoughts on a professional basketball team becoming linked with Hull City.
    I have had this in mind for over ten years as I (if posters recall) believe in the sports club model as the way forward.
    I do have a problem though with the name…

    Would there be an issue if a pro basketball club was called; Hull City, Hull City Tigers or Hull Tigers?

    We will soon have a viable venue and it is obvious that Acun loves basketball.

    This is just a question for debate, I personally believe and have believed for years that a football club should not just limit itself to one sport. It makes very little business sense to have resources that are restricted to one sport or club.

    For a basketball team Hull Tigers makes complete sense to me.

    I think the name Hull Tigers is perfectly ok for a basketball team and it doesn't damage or compromise (imo) the name Hull City. What is the viable venue you mention?

    The problem is TOM and I do believe you are right, would it be supported.... ?... Basketball is perhaps the number 1 viewed sport not inly in USA, but here...?

    The Kingston Panthers basketball team was one of the teams the Allams threw out of the Arena.

    Personally, I don't know why Acun would be interested in such a minority sport in the UK, even the twelve top flight clubs only have average attendances of about 2,000. He could probably buy a rugby league club that already play in the same stadium for a quid.

    He'd be better off sorting a tie-up with Hull City Ladies first.

    I would hope that he gives serious consideration to bringing the Ladies team into the fold, for me it makes perfect sense. Acun is a passionate basketball fan, I don't think that we will see it happen next week, but I am sure that it would cross his mind at some point.
    Its just a thought.

    The Tigers Trust Arena may not always have a 4g surface in the future, who knows?
