• 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

As someone who hasn't fallen down the rabbit hole of believing in every conspiracy theory going, and who isn't self employed and likely to lose out financially to what seems like the phasing out of cash, having a cardless policy would be far more of a pain in the arse for me than a cashless one, I have to be honest. I don't always carry cash, but I always carry a phone, well I have to if I want to get into the stadium don't I.

At the end of the day, it reduces the likelihood of robberies and people having their hands in the tills, it saves money for the banks, it saves money for the government from having to print less cash and create less coins and that's before we get to the main reason, the additional revenue they'd make from reducing the amount of services paid for that don't go through the books. These are the reasons it's being pushed on us not some batshit crazy conspiracies. And as much as it pains me to help out the banks and the government, it's bloody well handy, and not getting triggered by it helps me not to get a choronary. Although if you believe twitter, there is no such thing as heart attacks being caused by unhealthy lifestyles and high blood pressure, it's all down to the vaccines innit!

Yeah but apart from all that sense, what about people that still want to use cash. Think of the people mun :lol:
 
Picture the scene. You're in the house, the game is starting in an hour, you reach for the wallet only to find you don't have two spare pennies to rub against each other. It was going to be enough of a rush as it was without having to think were the nearest cash point to your route to the ground is. Do you really want to walk all the way to Morrisons after dumping your car? Do you fack! Empty the pillowcase, reach beneath the matress for your stash of cash, get down the bank, get a bleeding bank account. The local branches will all shut whether you buy into this move to cashless or not, the agenda's already been set whether that geezer on the video likes it or not. It's like the plug riots all over again for anyone paying attention in GCSE or O level history. Every new innovation ever has created this kind of scene. Imagine the uproar when the wheel was invented? There were people like this geezer up in arms all over the place, smashing up every wheel in sight. No one can stop change, however much you want to cling on to things.
