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

Having lived in Briton Ferry from 1979 for over 10 years, I got to know Nigel quite well. Being introduced to him one night by my mate Alan Davies (driving instructor in the Ferry). He was always a larger than life character, having a ready sense of humour.
Being a bit of a 'technosaurus' it means I don't have the necessary skills to transfer a really nice message sent to Nigel from Lee Trundle in his role as Swans Ambassador recently. Alan Davies sent it and some photos to my WhatsApp account. It was recognised how he involved himself in so many Swans activities, even watching their training sessions. The photos Alan sent me were of Nigel when Alan visited him at hospital, when it was obvious he was not a well man.
At least Nigel got his reward for steadfastly supporting the Swans for decades, by witnessing the most successful period in the club's history before passing, I know having spoken to him about it how much experiencing that meant to him.
Nigel regularly stopped to chat to me before matches as he made his way to his turnstile entrance, he was always passionate about the Swans and everything related to them. He was as 'genuine a Jack' as you can find, We can't afford to lose supporters of his calibre.
Farewell Nigel boy, hopefully you can watch the Swans matches on TV in the 'Hallelujah Hotel' from now on mate.
