• 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

Bunch of cùnts, they can see a compensation claim going in and already distancing themselves from one of thier own! Despicable club
 
Current data protection law prohibits keeping any data of any kind for longer than is absolutely necessary. Data has to be destroyed as soon as it becomes 'no longer relevant and/or current' (ie: soon after Pont left the club, and/or retired). Pont retired in 1991 so it is perfectly feasible for none of his clubs to still have records. And what records would the club be expected to maintain in 1991 anyhow - how many times Pont headed the ball in training and matches, and if he suffered any impacts? maybe today's technology allows this to be recorded and analysed, but this was 1991 and a different world then.

Barry Town, to their credit, spoke in Pont's support in court, and assisted the coroner reach the right decision. Nothing to see here - no cop out from either club, just both clubs adhering to data protection law.

RIP Pont. Some greater good may be hastened by this enquiry and credit to his family for pursuing it. RIP Pont.

A good lawyer will go back and get every clip from local papers and from tv that is relevant over the years, trust me, this case will run for both the scum and Barry Town... Watch this space

I guess you are right, this case isn't over, but what exactly is either club deemed to have done wrong in the context of time and motivation? and what about Pont's other clubs? and Wales? where's the neglect or lack of care by any club in the 1980s and 1990s? A tragic case. RIP Pont.

I don’t want to sound rude here but this is complete nonsense in the context being talked about.
They might not be allowed to keep his address and NI number but we’re talking about his playing record and games played in here.

Just expressing my view - I agree with you, any decent statistical record book would provide this, I probably could, but why would this help the coroner today? it adds context to his career but that's all. Regarding medical records etc, Pont retired in 1991 - that's 31 years ago - why would any club retain records for 31 years when it is now illegal to keep them. A hospital or GP maybe? Interested to see how this case develops. Opens up a potential huge can of worms.

Yes that’s a fair point.
