• 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

We took the dogs down the canal earlier it’s a shame to see it in such a mess.
The path is only about 3 foot wide in parts where grass and weeds have crept across it.
Out of curiosity does anyone know what he eco/environmental affect of throwing the grass and weeds into the canal would be?
I was thinking a few men with spades (not shovels) could sort it easily if they could aim the debris straight in the canal.

I use both the Neath and Tennant canals and they are both in a right state, the path from the Ferry to Tonna is very good to be fair but from Jersey Marine to Aberdulais is barely passable in parts and both canals have trees that have fallen down and left across the canal.

You could throw anything in there and couldn’t make it any worse, it’s a disgrace that NRW and the families that own sections of it have left the canal to rot.

This is such a good opportunity to attract tourism and for businesses to flourish along here. There has been talk of renovation such as that carried out in Clydach on the Swansea Canal which can only be a good thing. Amazingly the wildlife seams to have thrived in the chaos and neglect.

There’s absolutely no need for it L.
As I’ve said before I don’t think it would take lot to get stuck into it.
