I heard a while back that Gloucester has a flag, which was the city's coat of arms on a bluebackground, but I've never seen it. I've lived in Gloucester since birth and have never seen it.

Is this flag mythical, in hiding or not yet produced?

[edit] Pronunciation

The article gives the IPA for the name as [ˈglɒstə]. Is Gloucester therefore in a non-rhotic part of Gloucestershire? Man vyi 14:33, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Do you think it would be better if this was increased to include all sports in Gloucester and add some detail about gloucester rugby and football? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.150.158.175 (talk) 18:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC).
