• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

I also remember one away game while I was living in London, I picked up 2 London Jacks then picked up Richard and his partner in Kingston for an away trip to Walsall. The car was rammed (ford focus) and Richard insisted in wearing his big Swans hat in the car. Great memories.
 
I remember fondly Richard Lillicrap having a table and leaflets at games and away trips he drove to ensure the future of the Swans. I remember his partner/wife was very involved and went under the radar with all here contribution. I forgot her name now.
Jenny. She attended London games for a while after he passed. Lovely lady.

For some of our younger posters who maybe weren't around in the days when the club was facing extinction not for the first time here is Richard's Obit in The Guardian
