• 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.

So it was the government to blame, not the fact we didn't have a dof?
 
We’ve a long history of outsiders with a rudimentary understanding of the language making a great contribution to our club. Andy Robinson and Trunds for a start 🤣
"outsiders with a rudimentary understanding of the language"?

That reminds me of something that happened during the club open day in August 2007. There were quite a few tables placed around the offices, changing rooms, concourses, etc for people to chat to the players and for youngsters to get autographs, etc, and one of these had Scouser Andy Robinson and Brummie Marcos Painter paired together. I joking asked them why the club hadn't provided them with an interpreter so they could talk to each other. Painter was in hysterics and said "Oh, that's brilliant!" while Robbo just looked very confused. ☺️

On a tangent, is Marcos the Painter/ Neil the Tailor still on here I wonder?
