• 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

I can remember when my father used to take me down the Vetch in the 1950's/1960's - Saturday kick off time was always 3.15 pm. I think the extra 15 minutes was to allow workers - dockers etc, extra time to get to the ground.

Plus, before we had our floodlights built in the 1960/61 season - our very early season midweek kick off times was on a Tuesday @ 6.15 pm!!
 
Remember the days when they'd move the game to a Friday because Wales were throwing the egg around on the Saturday.
Fantastic! Pub, Swans, town.
It probably wouldn’t be fantastic now but was as a single lad in my early 20s.
