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

Think so. In previous campaigns they’ve paid a flat rate (£40 per day) but in this one so far they’ve been paying full pay regardless of grade.
That is basically a five week break from work as they have no financial pressure pushing the buttons. Teachers may have 5 years off if the union was paying the wagesexiledclaseboy said:
I know the nurses were getting a £40 pound flat rate which helps but when you are a higher grade and bills to pay then the last thing you want to do is strike as the effect it has on the hospital and patients and you financially.

Clever move by the union to encourage participation in the strike. This is why unions have been fundraising to build up large financial reserves. Everyone knew this round of industrial action was coming.
