• 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

8 Spurs players tested positive, cases on the rise...

Do we think that Drakeford will want sport to return to 'behind closed doors' again?
 
It's looking increasingly likely that the Omicron variant is far more transmittable than the Delta variant, even taking into account that vaccination is working in keeping hospital admissions down, I wouldn't be surprised if restrictions at big events, sporting, entertainment ect are brought back until more people get the booster jab.
Personally, I can see table service, with no more than six persons per table in pubs/restaurants temporarily, and more controversially, covid passports being introduced for the long term.
Buckle up.

Not sure now buddy. Difference bringing restrictions in will be that thers no further financial assistance to be made available plus don't be surprised if some refuse to show covid passes on back of Boris and his constant lying. People will have really had a titfull, they've lost and given up so much.
 
If I understood correctly, at all gatherings of 10,000 or more whether indoor or outdoor, masks will be mandatory.
 
The South Africans are saying so far that there is an increase in hospitalisations there of those testing positive for covid.

However (anecdotally at the moment) the vast majority of these people were admitted for other reasons but also tested positive. The new variant is everywhere but data so far is looking positive, particularly for those who are vaccinated. It's more a case of "with covid" rather than "because of". Let's hope so anyway.

That’s COVID passes. In England. We already got them here of course.

Drakeford leading the way again it seems... ;)
 
January is going to be interesting. It really wouldn't surprise me to at least see reduced capacities...
 
In all fairness Cardiff have been trialling reduced attendances in anticipation of a possible covid outbreak for last 30 years.
