• 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

My thought was around 20, but turns out to be 48! Only Stamford Bridge, Highbury, Villa Park, Maine Road and the old Den not with the Swans.
 
80 of the current 92 (thanks Forest Green and Sutton for getting relegated and replaced by two grounds I haven't been to!). Most of the ones I'm missing are the teams up north that got promoted to L2 after we were last there, Morecambe, Harrogate, Salford etc. Probably a couple of hundred in total between that, watching Wales and non-league.
 
60 of the current 92 for me, plus about 40 other grounds in UK. Borough Park in Workington had a warm welcome. Been to 9 of the 16 Swedish tier one league grounds, plus a long trip to Ostersund where Potter managed (they have slipped back to tier 2). I’ve seen the Swans play Bristol Rovers at Eastville (now IKEA), Twerton Park in Bath (I remember Jimmy Hill being sat in the wooden stand smoking a cigar - not sure about his connection) and the Memorial Ground. Wealdstone was an interesting trip in the FA Cup. Some random grounds like Inter Cardiff at Leckwith, TNS, FC Koln, Olympiakos, Tromso in the snow (was there when Chelsea came to town), Como (has to be most picturesque stadium in world). Plus the bizarre ones where you go to a football stadium to watch a rugby match (the old Wembley, Ricoh Arena, Loftus Rd, Adams Park Wycombe (all 3 Wasps & Swans), Reading (Richmond, London Irish & Swans), Vicarage Rd (Saracens & Swans), DW Stadium (Wigan Warriors & Swans) and San Sebastian’s Ground in San Sebastián where Biarritz play) or see a concert. Happy days and remember when you could get a pint in a proper glass.
