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

I was the landlord of the Ninian Park pub at that time & remember it well. The Police, in discussions with the Brewery had decided that we would be closed in the evening & that meant I was able to watch the game upstairs. We actually took more money in the afternoon of the game than we would normally take all day on a Tuesday thanks to being overrun by Scottish supporters.Passed away 39 years ago today after the World Cup Qualifier against Wales at Ninian Park.

The morning after the game I awoke to find my car park completely covered with sleeping Scottish lads

Was on the bob bank that night. Carnage, didn't know who was fighting who.

I was at the game too, when I got off the train after the game at Swansea Station (remember nobody had mobile phones) we went to the area outside of the Grand Hotel to be confronted with dozens of grown men (Scottish supporters) in tears. When I asked one what was wrong, he looked at me hardly able to speak, and just said "Big Jock is dead"....
