This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
What started off as an idle joke on the FSF’s Facebook page became a full blown crusade to convert all 303 London Underground and Docklands Light Railway stations to a football theme. Somehow we managed to do it, and so it takes pride of place as the centre spread in The Football Supporter 023, which is out now.
Since we first put this out into cyberspace yesterday the results have been spectacular – Twitter has been lit up with links to our site, and it’s appeared on the likes of FourFourTwo and The Guardian as well as numerous blogs.
Some names are inspired, others incredibly tenuous. We’ll leave you to decide which are which, although it might just help to have an original version of the tube map to hand just to see what we’ve done with each stop.

At the FSA we’re keen to promote the best practice when it comes to clubs talking to their supporters, as the benefits of engaging with fans are obvious – at least to us. One tool that’s become increasingly common in formalising those discussions is the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
Wales take on Moldova next month in Chișinău in a World Cup qualifying match and FSF Cymru will be on hand to assist travelling fans.
The next meeting of the FSF Southern Division will be held in the Trophy Room at Reading FC’s Madejski Stadium on Sunday 10th September 2017. The room will open at 11.30am, a buffet lunch will be served at noon and the meeting will start at 12.30pm.
The second issue of this season’s Non-league Magazine is published this week and the FSF feature once again.
