What about West Ham; what were they called, and where did they play,
when they were associated with the Thames Iron Works?

Didn't one London club, Wimbledon was it, move to Milton Keynes or
somewhere a few years ago? *I seem to remember something about it on
the news.

It certainly did. The MK Dons.

So they changed their name to something more appropriate then?

But the 'Dons' suffix is a reference to where they came from.

Why should it, when QPR is miles from Queens Park, the Chelsea
ground is next door to Fulham Broadway station,

If you look it is next to the West London Line (and the site of the former
Chelsea and Fulham station) which forms the boundary between Fulham and
Chelsea.

and Hendon FC is near Cricklewood station?

the Chelsea ground is
next door to Fulham Broadway station,

It is closer to Chelsea than it is to that station.

and Hendon FC is near Cricklewood station?

... and only about half as far away again (by crow) from Hendon
station.

Now if you had mentioned Waterloo FC's ground.. ;-)

A couple of miles from CP railway station - the nearest
stations are Selhurst itself and Norwood Junction, both more or less
equidistant from the ground.

Also close is Thornton Heath. Selhurst, Norwood Junction and Thornton
Heath all have a sign saying 'Home of Crystal Palace FC'.

Got it last night from Dalston to go to a black tie do at Lancaster
Gate. But this journey highlights the lack of a Central Line
interchange. The change at Whitechapel to H&C involves going up and down
over the ELL, then it's stop/start round to Liverpool Street and another
fairly lengthy change to the Central.

I suppose the Highbury extension will help but I don'd think Oxford
Circus is a barrel of laughs.

Well, he did say the end was nigh.

I thought he died years ago.

Since then the scouse megaphone man has come and gone (I think he was
given an ASBO a couple of years ago).
