Jacob and his grandad take Hull City to America
Tigers fans who went viral during World Cup are Premier League's secret weapons in Cincinnati, US.
Hull City fans Jacob Allmendinger, 21, and Geoff Golliker, 80, have returned to the United States to promote the new Premier League season. The father and son duo were made Premier League ambassadors after Jacob spent his life savings to follow England to the World Cup semi-finals in July. The pair are in Cincinnati, Ohio, to promote Hull City's opening match against Manchester United, which begins at 12:30 BST.
Geoff expressed his pride in being asked to do this, stating it is an honor. The story of the Allmendingers went viral, with Jacob even receiving his money back from an American crypto company. Hull City has flown the pair back across the Atlantic to promote their return to the Premier League. Jacob mentioned they will be watching the game with American fans at a party in a bar named The Stretch, which will be decorated in Hull City's colors.
He expressed a desire to attend the Manchester United match, feeling a sense of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) in America. The pair's goal is to encourage as many people as possible to become Hull City fans.
