• 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
    Owner, jackarmy.net

    The Swan Dive: why Swansea’s attendances have taken a plunge?

    Recently? There was a time when I was a teenager when we’d watch the Swans one week at home and the Whites the next week. That ended in the late 70s.

    The Swan Dive: why Swansea’s attendances have taken a plunge?

    I wondered about that, so I looked up the official stats on the House of Commons constituency database. Swansea West is indeed more deprived than either Norwich North or Norwich South by some way. The average unemployment rate in Swansea West is 4.8%, compared to 3.4% and 3.9% in the two...

    The Swan Dive: why Swansea’s attendances have taken a plunge?

    Comparison I keep making is with Norwich. They had an attendance of under 20k, expanded the ground with financial support from their supporters and have pretty much averaged 25k ever since, whatever division they are in. We need to study how they did it and try to emulate them, because it has...

    Hopefully we’ll hear something soon, but Benson is the cherry on the top of a knickerbocker glory at Joe’s. If it doesn’t arrive it’s a small disappointment but don’t let it spoil the rest of the experience for you!

    If we get Benson now we will have two excellent players for every position as long as (a) we play a single striker and (b) we draw a line under Fisher’s past howlers and give him a second chance (I’m happy to do that). Appreciate that others have pointed this out previously, but my question is...

    Interesting post on Vital Swans: we have the second highest net spend in the Championship this transfer window, at -£11.85m. Only Wrexham have spent more (net) at -£34.1m. As the poster says, we must have some serious commercial deals lined up to be OK with FFP. Overall we are sixth in the table...

    Plus Cooper, Cotteril and Lissah loaned out, and Vipotnik still with us.

    Sorry, just noticed that you had a pop at me. 'Glass half full' is a common way of expressing optimism and positivity, which is certainly how I feel at the moment, as opposed to those people who see the same half-full glass and read it as being 'half empty'. This may have gone over your head if...

    Keith seems confident we have landed both Benson and Tadcaster's finest, Samuel Smith. I wouldn't be surprised if the club introduce them in the morning now for maximum retweet potential. I don't know how the system works in the Championship, but Premier League clubs have until 11pm to submit a...

    Benson, Arizona by John Carpenter is one of the best film theme songs ever IMO. "Benson's on my mind"

    I suspect the club will want to milk the Idah signing for a bit before announcing more incoming, if we have loaned Samuels-Smith and/or signed Benson (which would be pretty stunning).

    Actually this forum has kept me sane today. Vital and the Indy have been very quiet.
