Might seem a small step but it immediately feels so much more modern.
I actually think in the long term the women's teams across the country should / will find different names entirely so they can build their own identity with no confusion / chance of being 'in the shadow' to speak, and they can lose the need for the word 'women' at all.
For example, Orlando Pride in Florida is affiliated with Orlando City.
But it isn't Orlando City Women FC, it's Orlando Pride.
Anyway COYG. :scarf:

That's a great idea. I tried playing around with names for the women's team starting with Arg to keep some sort of tie to the Argyle name, but all I could come up with is
Plymouth Argonauts
Plymouth Argos
Plymouth Argentina
Plymouth Arguement
