• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

Share some of your favourite 3rd Round memories here - some things will always stick in the memory and this is one for me

 
2 of my favourite games ,

Swans nil nil with Liverpool .
Lee Bracey in goal what a performance by our young keeper .
Liverpool with their best side couldn't score .
Went to watch the replay lost 8 nil (or 8 - 1 )

Swans 3 West Brom 2
Brilliant game Sean Mccarthy & Andy Melville scored .
Can remember Keri Andrews going on a couple of maisey runs .
 
West Ham away and home were top notch.

I remember the weather for the rematch was horrific.
I remember the early morning queue for the replay tickets and being caught in a hail storm, me and the misses frozen whilst my son was tucked up in bed!!!
 
Being an old fart , I can go back to Doncaster away , 68 , it was in those days a weekend bus journey, and of course the infamous Leeds away in 70.

One of the lads was good mates with Jonathan Coates and he sorted our tickets, thankfully.

I remember calling in sick that day and just watching the news waiting for them to announce the game had been called off.

Likewise

Being an old fart and at the game.

Then Arsenal at home record attendance at the Vetch
 
Tom Butler's greatest hour...
