Seems pointless, given that Arsenal is the nearest tube station to AG. Whats AG? Ashburton Grove, the site of Arsenal's new stadium (although I think Holloway Road station might actually be nearer). In any case, renaming the station would be silly - unlike Holloway Road and Drayton Park, Arsenal/Gillespie Road has the capacity to deal with large match-day crowds, so continuing to send the fans there is a Good Idea. -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |

Arsenal claim that Arsenal is the nearest, although this could be because HR is exit-only on matchdays. |

I mean what are the nearestest in their order? |

Arsenal is closest to the north end while Holloway Road is closest to the south end of the stadium. Peter Smyth |
