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

I saw us play Workington before they went out of the league. Southport were the other team that went. Replaced by Wimbledon and Wigan. I always thought of Wigan as league newcomers and yet they came up in 1978...

I was unlucky to watch both of those.
The name Kit Napier is burnt into my brain. He scored 3 goals in that 1-6 and just a few weeks later scored 4 goals in that 7-0!!

I watched a report on YOUTUBE recently about the demise of Scunthorpe, when you think back fairly recently when we were in league 1 and they stormed it, i think Billy Sharp was our nemesis as the time, they very nearly went completely under last week when they were “saved”by another set of local business people i just hope for the fans sake they can hold on.
The last owner was a complete and utter waste of time, it turned out he had numerous names/identities and convictions for fraud, kind of mirrors a lot of FL experiences. There are so many other clubs such as Bury and Darlington who were not only recent rivals but i can also remember Darlington playing us at the Liberty stadium now all gone.
We have been incredibly lucky as club that we were saved and as much as we rightly criticise the old board for what they did we still survived which is more than some of the clubs in that table did.

Interesting to see Reading and Brentford there.
A little later on, Scunthorpe play off game. Deservedly lost and their central midfielder ran the show.
