• 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

Enjoy :-)

Hopefully they are getting over it now.
I've heard Holly Willoughby has been in touch with them to check they are OK.
 
They talked about Cardiff having lots of fans who support prem sides and not them and all young fans support us in Swansea. Is that actually true?
 
For the majority of my time supporting us (a very long time) we have held the upper hand over them, a few seasons of relative parity perhaps and literally a couple of seasons they have come out on top.
Not blinkered bias, but fact...
 
I am 42 this year and have always followed the Swans though I did not seriously support them until the Flynn days.
Before that it was usually just keeping an eye on results and reading Evening Post articles when I did my paper boy rounds, like many of that age who didn't have a football following family most of my exposure to football was being force fed Man Utd week in week out on the TV.

Since I learned to have a thought of my own though I cannot remember a time when Swansea City had ever been under the heel of Cardiff City anywhere near the way that they have been the past 15-20 years.
 
I say let 'em carry on.

They live in a parallel universe where they are competing to win the Champions League every year.

Meanwhile back on planet earth, they're a fair to middling second tier club that hasn't even won a minor trophy, never mind a major one, for coming up to 100 years. And who regularly get their asses handed to them by their closest rivals who are superior on just about every measure imaginable.

Tinpot club, tinpot fans, tinpot mentality.
