Default Rename Arsenal back to Gillespie Road?

Now that arsenal footbal club have shoved off to drayton park , are
there any murmurings at LUL about renaming Arsenal station back to

Seems pointless, given that Arsenal is the nearest tube station to AG.


Whats AG?


Ashburton Grove, the site of Arsenal's new stadium (although I think
Holloway Road station might actually be nearer).

In any case, renaming the station would be silly - unlike Holloway
Road and Drayton Park, Arsenal/Gillespie Road has the capacity to deal
with large match-day crowds, so continuing to send the fans there is a
Good Idea.
