• 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

Wondering if anybody could help me or just give me some advice.

I’m interested in entering a team in to the Swansea League, if not next season then the season after that, as once I’ve recovered from a spinal surgery I am due within the next few months, I am hoping to start my coaching badges. It is something I’m committed to doing, but have absolutely no clue on how to go about it, that includes finding a home pitch, getting a kit etc etc so if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated, if it’s something someone would like to get more involved with then I’d be more than happy to have people on board.
 
You ought to ask Russ's advice, he seems to be intent on getting the Swans into that league. 🤣

Seriously though, mate, I wish you the very best of luck with your op, and in fulfilling your ambitions. YJB 👍

I bet there’s a few people in the Swansea League that would out do him tactically as well 😂

Thanks mate I appreciate it. I’ve had nearly 2 years off work because of it so I’ve had a lot of time to think over things and I’ve always enjoyed coaching (I’ve coached kids teams on and off over the years) but I’m hoping I can make it a career at some point in the future.

I also wish you well, and as for making a career out of it, you'll be fine. From what I've witnessed the bar isn't set that high.

Good luck with that.
Hopefully you’ll smash it, and take on board all our moans and groans on this platform and avoid Russball.
You could possibly end up in the dugout at the Liberty too!

I could never manage the Swans, I know exactly what gets said on here and the other forum 😉

Cheers for the kind words gentlemen, thankfully a couple of guys have offered their help in different ways which I’m very appreciative of so hopefully we can get the wheels rolling. The offer is out to anyone though who does want to get involved in any capacity.

Good luck my friend and be well,I’ve always liked you. ♥️
 
I teach martial arts at the moment but I've often thought about coaching football, I love teaching. Good luck to you Felindre hope it goes well.

I do know the guy who coaches galaxy fc and I think he's just got a job with the swans coaching under 7s I could ask him for some tips or maybe put you in touch with him.
 
When my lad was 6 he joined a club, I then took on the coaching for a further 6 years with em. Out of everything I've ever done its probably the most rewarding and emotional time I've had in sport. So to anyone taking that on....good luck, as long as you have supportive kids parents you'll love it.

Does he run the Galaxy senior side or one the juniors? I know Leon Britton was involved with them (I think his kid(s) play for them).

The side I’ll be running is a seniors side, but once the op is over with and I can crack on with my badges, any involvement with the Swans would be fantastic tbf.

His name is Chris Hopkins and it's the kids, like I said I think he's just got the gig at the swans with the under 7s.
 
Quick update for those interested. The team will be based in the Fforestfach area. Got about 6-7 players interested already, so if anyone on here is interested in getting their boots on, or knows anyone who’s looking for a team, please feel free to message me!
