And since White Hart Lane is famous as the home of Spurs, you have to
wonder why Spurs aren't happy with the current name. There can be few
people who do not see the words "White Hart Lane" on a tube map and
think of Spurs. I doubt if they would have paid tuppence to rename it
before the line went on the tube map a couple of years ago.

I suppose its no dafter than Gillespie Road being renamed as Arsenal back in
the day. Wonder how much that cost.

Barbican station has been renamed several times.

23 December 1865 Opened as Aldersgate Street
1 November 1910 Renamed Aldersgate
24 October 1924 Renamed Aldersgate & Barbican
1 December 1968 Renamed Barbican

Can't say I agree with it - what makes
football so important that a club can have a station renamed after it? Why not
rename other stations Ikea or Asda while they're at it? Also a growing number of
people consider football a boring irrelevance these days, I can't help thinking
TfL is stuck in the past
