• 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

40% increase in prices for Over 65s with a Jack Army membership. Awful decision

With Jackarmy membership also up from £25 to £27.50 = 10%
 
My daughter been nagging me to take her to some games so was contemplating coming back after several years away from attending but doubt that'll happen with those prices.
 
I think this will turn out to be a shot in the foot and that the overall revenue stream from general sales will decrease from last season.

A better marketing ploy would have gone down the route of making a big thing out of freezing general sale prices, creating a little feel good factor in times where families worry about putting meals on tables, and ultimately attracting more casuals into the stadium.

This pricing model relies on good results on the pitch.

That bit I completely missed
 
The club will undoubtedly know this is a crass decision based on the fact that it was not accompanied by the usual fanfare from Winter, the Trust and probably Silverstein. These people have usually gone down the "we are keeping things competitive and appreciating the difficult situation our wonderful Jack Army are in" line

They havent which suggests they know it is wrong

But they have gone down the route anyway.

Up for ST holders too. Inflation eh.

Can't imagine why it's been hidden away. Can't just front up to receive the plaudits.

Oh, hang on…

It's not the Trust who are raising them, and I hope the club doesn't get a free pass just because of the valid feelings towards the Trust.

This is a test for the Trust's ability to be a friend who asks the tough questions though. I'll be interested to see what they say in public.

Of course it’s not the Trust that is raising prices but there was a time when the Trust would have openly said that it was against the rises and was very unhappy about it and argued against it.

I’m not holding my breath with this Trust set up.
 
The prices should be going down not up in these rough times.

I just cannot believe how short sighted the club are.
 
A 40% rise in prices for senior citizens is absolutely scandalous.

Yet another wedge put between the club and the fans. The next level.

Agreed. It's just that I'm seeing the Trust get a lot of stick on social media for this, but they wouldn't have been the ones to propose it.

As you say, the Trust need to give their take on it. That'll be interesting.
 
Those wages don't pay for themselves.
Loved the £20 is plenty, wouldn't have gone to most except for that. Near enough £40 for Leeds and Sheff Wed meant I didn't go.

Looking at the WBA site and dearest tickets are £25.
Fair do's, their u17 season tickets are only £23 and £99 for under 20's.

They are getting stick because they are now viewed as nothing more than the sellouts and owners mouth piece which they are so they are guilty by association and deserve all the stick they get. You may not agree but that's how I see it.
