• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

And just when Kaplan and Levien had vacated the stage exit left to be replaced by owners who, at least on the face of it, have some passion, commitment and drive for the club to become successful again.

To me, as I’m sure it is for everyone else, this is truly a sad end to such a wonderful forum and website.

Everything about it just oozes class, from the man himself who has pulled out a Herculean effort to run the show for 25 years, to the many and varied posters who grace the boards on here.

As for my sentiments on this wonderful place that we call home, which is looking like we won’t be able to refer to as such, come the end of the month, I can think of only one song that will sum them up:


It’s been Shakespearean.

Well lads ( plus London Lisa), i don't come on yur as much as I used to and it is very simple for me to state that I will just miss you all. This place has been a haven for me to return to whatever has been going on in my life. When I first joined back in 2013 I was going through the trial and mental anguish of separation fand subsequent divorce rom my wife.

Now, all these years later I have returned on countless occasions and have always left just slightly better off emotionally. Though we all conform in one way in that we all love the mighty Swans, we are all so different in our fascinating and entertaining ways. I shall be on here now most days until the end of May. I

Is there a end of site party planedd in some JackArmy pub in Swansea like the Masons in Waunarlwydd, or the Builders in Sandfields? If the latter then the new landlord is called Keith.It would be good to meet some of you in person. I have yet to meet anyone in person, not even Darren.( I'll get to one of your ET/ UFO nights in Gorseinon some time Dar I promise).Please PM me if there is anything remotely organised planned. I have yet to wade through all 17 pages of dialogue in this thread.

It is the end of an era and I might even have to rejoin the other site to het my dosge of occasional Swansea City info and banter. Phil is amazing.I am linked tom him on Facebook so will send him my regards on there, but Iwill stae that his levels of generosity in terms of personal time and committment in keeping this place going whilst doing all his other Swans stuff and whilst holding down his job and family concerns is breathtaking. Ta Phil,

As to which posters I liked through the years I guess Dickjy Thorpe does stand out for me. Pity he os no longer a contributor.

Andrew Colwill still sells garage doors. He is also a club sponsor obviously.

Regards fellers
