Having wandered about Ashburton Grove, site of the new Arsenal FC
ground, it occured to me that there are three roughly equidistant rail
stations. I humbly suggest changing their names.

They should drop the "railway station" bit.... it's a bit misleading,
people might thing they can catch a trian there

They'd only think that if you called it a rialway station.

HTH.

You see, on the face of it, sounds like madness, but ...

"Arsenal" on Plimsoll Road (Piccadilly) could become "Arsenal West"

The most easterly of the three stations. And it's not on Plimsoll Road.

"Drayton Park" could become "Arsenal Central" and
"Holloway Road" (Piccadilly) could become "Arsenal East".

being the most westerly of the three stations.

Is it your intention that no one finds the new stadium?

Ahaaaaa! Makes sense now. LIKE YER SHTYLE, AL!

If this can be arranged, I'd further like to suggest changing the LB
Islington's name to "London Borough of Arsenal". Would that be okay?

What else does one catch apart from a train (excluding anything unpleasent
such as diseases etc)?

Perhaps to any supporters of the most whinging football club in history

What does Manchester United have to do with anything?

Indeed, I wonder how many present day Arsenal fans know that, or
Londoners generally. I still can't work out which bit of the Far East
Leyton Orient came from though. It's either Katmandu or Klapton.

What's wrong with Arsenal reverting to its original name, "Gillespie
Road"?

Too many syllables for visiting Spurs fans.

OK, Arse it is then.
