• 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

Not sure why a visit to High Wycombe causes so many hearts to flutter.

A soulless "posh" town who's main attribute is its easy to get to London to work .

Give me the likes of Rotherham ,Barnsley and Hull any day,although Hull might well be falling through the floor

We played Wycombe over 2 legs in the freight rover trophy, it was Chester in the playoffs before Northampton



We played Wycombe over 2 legs in the "Autoglass Trophy Final - Southern Section" in March 1994.

Cheers knew I had been there for a semi final.
 
Went there one season when we beat them 1-0 with Andy Robinson scoring. Think they were top of the league at the time.

And an anti-football side too. Good luck to them, but they'll make for grim watching.
 
The last time we played at Adams Park was in a preseason friendly about 5 years (ish) ago, against Reading

I think Reading used the ground for training or their U21s or something and had agreed to play a preseason there with funds going to Wycombe.
 
Been to watch the Swans at Wycombe twice:

1. The Autoglass Southern Area Final March 22nd 1994. We won the first leg on St David’s Day 3-1 and lost the second leg 1-0. Went on the United Welsh buses (with the T.I.T.s). We were stuck on a trading estate for ages and some people got out and walked. They had all the mod cons on getting into the away terrace (at that time) metal detectors and all that sh*t. Sold Jackforever a can of Trent Bitter after the match for £2.50 (bloody marvellous).

2. The second visit was in 2004 and we won 1-0. I was teaching in London, so I met the boys up in Wycombe. I had purchased a nice new Ralph Lauren bomber jacket for £90 in Selfridges the morning of the match. I think I recall we had around 900 fans in their new away all seater stand,

When fans are allowed back they allocate 2,000 in the away end and an extra 315 tickets in their main (small stand). Not sure if the extra tickets will be available in the Championship. That is if and when fans can return.

Congratulations to Wycombe Wanderers on their promotion to the Championship this evening. Nice and near for me to see the Swans next season! I’ve seen Swans play there in the past, many years ago.

Autoglass mun.

I was probably on the same bus as you for the autoglass game, if my memory is correct there was a torrential downpour & there was some concern the game might get cancelled.

Tenko (David Morgan) run TITS buses?
