You raise a good point with the suffixes, and I originally denied Queen's Park as I thought it was referring to the Scottish side, but I'll quite happily throw it open to debate - if others feel it should be allowed, I'll adjust the scores accordingly.StonePony wrote:Surely if you allow West Ham (United) & (AFC) Wimbledon you should allow Queens Park (Rangers)jamesthegill wrote:7. Name a London Underground station that shares its full name with a professional football club.
Arsenal: 4
Watford: 4
West Ham: 2
Unused: Wimbledon
Incorrect: Uxbridge, Queen's Park (unfortunately they're an amateur side - good thinking though)

I considered West Ham & Wimbledon, but discounted them both because of the suffixes & pre-fixes. I interpreted the "shares its full name" element to mean Arsenal & Watford were the only two options that fully met the criteria.

Re: Rare Entries Quiz IX
I agree with StonePony, I discounted the others for that reason, otherwise I'd obviously have gone for Queens Park!
My only other quibble is that the ever reliable Wikipedia claims that Brighton Station has a Starbucks - I didn't feel like popping down there to see if the article was accurate or not! (I'm not exactly going to rocket into the top three because of this...)

Class 66s are not seen regularly at Ashford International?! They're scheduled to run freight trains through every day, just as the passenger trains are scheduled.

Actually, don't allow 66s, as otherwise I won't be the winner any more!

Yes please allow 66s because then I might go below ten million points.
