• 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

Retro shirt

Sorry, sent this before I could write the comments.

That design was a particular fave of mine, and for some reason always reminded me of The Vetch, and my days on The North bank.
It was given to me this week by the old MD of Diversified Products, Richard Daly, who was having a clear out and found it still in its packaging, hence the creases !
I said my grandson would be chuffed to wear it, and show it off to his mates.
As it worked out, it was a medium, so my son’s going to see if it fits him.
Keep it in the family as they say 😊

That's a lovely gift to receive.
I had someone give me the 1999/2000 home shirt quite recently but that shirt you have been given has certainly trumped mine.
It's a cracker 👌
 
The 1st Admiral DP one was really nice. Silky. (86-87) The 87-88 one wasnt so nice. More scrtachy.
 
I’ve always said that the club have missed a trick commercially, by not issuing retro tops

Indeed, and yet they have blocked others from making them for fellow fans that wanted them threatening legal action on at least two occasions despite individuals offering to work with the club on it as a venture. I think they also stopped Toffs from making them who had been doing them for years. The club shop did make a few about 10-15 years ago but they were a bit 'meh' and didn't sell very well.
They could do them to order with a leadtime if they are concerned about wasted stock.
Perhaps it's a case of them seeing that the recent retro kit market boom in Thailand/Vietnam that they can't control will undermine their pricing structure ?
I notice that Cardiff have a retro section in their clubshop as do most clubs
Always wanted this one from Toffs remembering Mickey Conway tearing down the wing in it but they've stopped doing it now ... :(

Totally agree. We are missing a big trick in the retro market. Can’t believe those up the road have seen the potential, that we haven’t.
