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?

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

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

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.

Too many syllables for visiting Spurs fans.

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".

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

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?
