Just interested, when did the Devon flag appear first? It seems quite a recent thing based upon the Cross of Saint Piran.

Thanks to Chris Errington for the photo.
These flagpoles (and all that entails) have been gifted by an Argyle fan who no longer lives in the area. At a great cost I might add.
Great to see in my book and it does make me think whether the 'Plymouth' part of our name should be dropped. We ARE the team of Cornwall after all, and we also cover most of Devon don't we?
Most Argyle fans hate our team being called simply 'Plymouth' - So why not go for it properly and officially We are bigger than just one City, we can include TWO. Once again adding to our uniqueness.

Now when your crossing the bridge, the welcome to Plymouth sign is (especially at high tide ) some 50metres in Cornwall. :greensmile:
Happy new year to you Dave! One thing I definitely wont be Doing is pushing the Oz flag on anyone. I'm very much a patriotic ex pat when it comes to it :scarf:davie nine":3bo2zv9i said:You’ll be wanting us to put up the Australian flag next, Mork.Mork":3bo2zv9i said:Actually it is.

Most up the liners I have come across all claim to support the big teams (and probably never seen them live) and just stare blankly back when just 'Argyle' is mentioned
