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

It’s terrible, what he and his family have gone through is shocking.
Grayling introduced the £37,500 threshold back in around 2013 and it’s not gone up in ten years. I think the Conservative MP Nigel Evans had a £130k legal bill after being acquitted in Court. I’m far from his biggest fan, but it does seem unfair when people are prosecuted and end up with huge legal bills when they’ve been found not guilty.
There are people out there who are habitual offenders/serious criminals, they make sure they’ve got no provable resources and limited income so get everything priced when they’re in Court and then there’s cases like this. There’s got to be a better, fairer way.

I'm a criminal, and I'm in control of the intelligence department and they don't even know it
