• 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

    Did have a stint at Glamorgan way back in the day , Second XI level for then . Hampshire seen potential and gave it a go as a potential Test batsman and moved in . As mentioned earlier , another name lost to us who would have graced St. Helens given the chance blossom over time . 62 years old...

    Utter Scum.

    The dog was out of control and untrained to be in a public place . Back to the root cause ot the problem though , the animals owners and their sense of responsibility . In some cases a status symbol to own the animal or just the fella being a unfit owner . I was brought up around German...

    Utter Scum.

    Gave up having a nice jog down my local canal track years ago when a yappie Jack Russell decided to bite at my heels . Obviously off the lease and the dog owner shouted out , He is only playing mate and laughed it off . Bad owners will bring up a bad dog untrained . Labs where the best to...

    What Ewe Watching

    Binge watched Keeping Faith to the end , finished last episode just now on i Player . So many twists and turns and great character actors in fairness , but the end plot was a real let down . As usual a follow up seems on the cards , judging by the final scenes of high drama . Dragged on a bit...
