Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

No because Man U are in the Premier League, and not the Football League

As the correct names of these football clubs is "Hull City" and "Queen's Park Rangers" both answers are incorrect, as the words "City" and Rangers" are not in the station names in question. Had you asked "which contains PART of the name of a football team", you would have been fine. The question probably doesn't have many correct answers, if any.
I didn't specify FULL club name either [for the pedantic people amongst us]. Question and answers still stand as they are 100% valid
"Hull" is certainly arguable as that team is often referred to without the "City", but in what sense does "Queen's Park" include "Queens Park Rangers"? Perhaps Nozza was referring to the Scottish league team.

Extending the logic, does Queensway include Queens [Park Rangers]?

Separately, would you have allowed MANsion hoUse? Manchester United are quite often referred to as just "Man U".
The way the question was originally worded, certainly only Watford was allowed. And I think it's still arguable only Watford is allowed.

Not to worry, you were just trying to make a point about my lenient acceptation of names

Of the answers submitted only Watford was correct. You could also have Barnet.

And Wimbledon, but Quizmaster rules what he or she deems correct. Question did not specify a full name of the football club. Watford and Barnet also have an 'F.C.', Football Club addition to their name as well...
