Changing railstation names
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. "Arsenal" on Plimsoll Road (Piccadilly) could become "Arsenal West" "Drayton Park" could become "Arsenal Central" and "Holloway Road" (Piccadilly) could become "Arsenal East". 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? -- Al |

Perhaps to any supporters of the most whinging football club in history (who aren't from Islington anyway), then perhaps your idea may be of interest. You are right that Tottenham Hotspur is both the most whinging football club in history (as well as the sicknotiest) and that they are not from Islington at all. But I can only imagine you believe they'd be interested in my idea is because -- let's face it -- vicarious interest in successes at Arsenal is the nearest they can get. -- Al |

Perhaps to any supporters of the most whinging football club in history (who aren't from Islington anyway), then perhaps your idea may be of interest. To the rest of the civilised universe, that can handle borough names with more than 2 syllables, I think the answer is a resounding "no". |

"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? |
