• 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

Give me the info gents.

Had to rely on BBC football for updates.

How was it?
Was a delight to watch daps

The players were aggressive in the press, ambitious with the ball and more importantly played like they wanted to win
We got players around Vipotnik and he was like a different player
O'Brien and Franco ruled the midfield

And best of all no three at the back nonsense in sight
 
It was soooo good, and there was “hwyl”! I have almost forgotten what it was like to go home with a smile. And we had less possession but scored 3 - tells you all you need to know about the previous obsession with meaningless possession.
 
I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a game as much as that. Bit shaky to start with but grew into it and we looked the most likely to score even at 3-0 up.

Lovely walking away feeling you haven't wasted your afternoon
 
Hopefully the fans may start turning up again. Always thought our fans in the NE corner in a sparse stadium is just ridiculous considering both areas behind the goal are as good as empty.

It's mostly about entertainment. We've been tedious to watch for the best part of five years now. People won't want to pay £20 a game to be bored. People won't want to pay for their kids to come and spend most of their time playing with their phones.

There is an element of fickle support involved (which is a Welsh thing), but we need to excite people again.

Being fickle isn’t a “Welsh thing”. That’s absurd nonsense. It’s just a thing. Otherwise i agree.
 
I think we've been reduced to the lowest home supported team in the league which is a legacy of of past seasons. We have a decent catchment area and dormant fan base so what will it take to re-ignite attending games again. Does the club's commercial side need to get clever from this point?

I do think we're missing a trick in not offering potential free ST's in the (perhaps unlikely) event of promotion in this or any future season. Otherwise there's probably not much else they can do.

We haven't been much fun to watch for years now, and people are reacting to that.
 
When Bradford can attract 18k crowds in L2 even when they were mid-table is testament how a club can re-invent itself

There have been times when we were beaten at home without a fight that I’ve thought to myself “what the hell am I wasting my time for” as the away fans were taking the p*ss. When you aren’t even competitive it’s a horrible watch. I was working yesterday so couldn’t go but I’m so happy that our long suffering fans enjoyed a game for once
 
It’s refreshing to read such threads. Not had many of these in recent times. Sod’s Law that I didn’t see a kick, haven’t even watched the goals back yet.
