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! tom -- Georgia New York Los Angeles Vegas Washington Utah |

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 They should drop the "railway station" bit.... it's a bit misleading, people might thing they can catch a trian there What else does one catch apart from a train (excluding anything unpleasent such as diseases etc)? |

Just food for thought.Pip pip all. 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. |
