Now that arsenal footbal club have shoved off to drayton park , are
there any murmurings at LUL about renaming Arsenal station back to
Gillespie Road? Or would this just be too much money/hassle?

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).


Arsenal claim that Arsenal is the nearest, although this could be
because HR is exit-only on matchdays.


It depends where you are sitting. Arsenal is closest to the north end while
Holloway Road is closest to the south end of the stadium.

Actually Drayton Park is closest, which by some weird logic isn't used
on match days....... only in England ;-)
