• 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

It's not a good look in fairness, pissed up rugby fans on every train back and forth the Capitol on matchday is acceptable apparently.
Everyone turns a blind eye because they are "rugby" fans.

I couldn't think of anything worse than spend an afternoon in Cardiff with this lot.
 
I love both sports me.

I’ve not been to a rugby international for about 20 years. Probably the same amount of time I haven’t been to a football international thinking about it.

Pissed up fans are pissed up fans though.

i also love and played both sports. It’s (the rugby) a poor experience now. Theatregoers and annoying tossers everywhere. Or worse, full of English and Irish when their teams are in town. No singing from the Welsh, just ‘Wayuls, Wayuls’ once or twice and a half hearted H&A.

The train back to Chepstow where my wife used to pick me up is as bad as described and always has been, win or lose. Rammed with pissed up arseholes (I’m a quiet drunk), that made me watch my back. Not pleasant. I wouldn’t go again. I’d rather watch in the pub.

Never mind theatergoers being annoying, people who pay at the till with cash can do one!
Holding everyone up when we have better things to do like stare at our phones.
Maniacs they are 😡
 
Rugby has changed
And of that 73,000, about 730 of them turn up to watch their local club the following week. Proper rugby "supporters", them.

If I didn't know any better, I might go and say something like it's got nothing to do with the actual sport itself, it's just a very flimsy excuse for an almighty pissup a dozen or so times a year. But I wouldn't dare suggest such a thing, obviously.
Rugby support has changed. Back in the good old days of seventies and early eighties in my case was the time of my life. No contradiction with the Swans either Darren !
