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

The damage is done, most of us don’t really care any more. Statement’s an irrelevance now. Much like the trust.
I'm glad they are starting their case for the defence. I did half wonder if we'd see them go into a bunker.
There are a few things I'd question though. The premise that relationships on the ground will now open up. A lot made of the relationship with the Foundation /Community Trust but we already had that. Both former SD's were trustees and in fact still remain trustees. Unless things changed, we had a good working relationship on the ground, the issue was always elsewhere. I don't think it's often appreciated that most things are simply left to those on the ground.
I did notice the argument that there is discussion in terms of what the Trust is. I'd dispute that personally. While the situation always evolves, the principles remain the same. That principal issue of governance has not gone. I note that, amongst the people on the ground mentioned, Gareth Davies wasn't. That doesn't surprise me, but it does worry me.
To be honest, nothing was holding back a lot of that, beyond time spent by part of the board on the case. The website update was close to completion during my time (Adam did a good job with that).
Anyway, we'll see how this goes with the members. My concern is that, rather than seek to resolve the issues with one section of the membership, they've appealed directly to another.

I do wish that I could have set the questions on all the exam papers that I failed on. I would have passed with flying colours if able to have done so.
