Hull City will officially pass Go next month
when a Tigers Monopoly board game goes on sale.
Players and club officials were on hand for the launch of the
game at the KC Stadium yesterday, which confirms the Tigers as one
of the country's top teams.
The board features players instead of the traditional street
names and gives each of them a value.
Brazilian goal machine Geovanni is set to be up for sale for
£400, with captain Ian Ashbee looking likely to be priced at about
£320.
Ashbee told the Mail: "I'm not too sure about the valuations,
but we might be able to get them changed before the game gets
printed."
Hull City's marketing manager Rob Smith said: "Monopoly is the
best-selling board game in the world and is played by millions of
people around the globe.
"This is a unique opportunity for us to expand our brand as we
take our place in the top-flight of English football for the first
time in our history."
