• 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

Here’s another funny wrinkle…

If you’ve been vaccinated outside of the UK you absolutely, positively cannot get an NHS Covid Pass.

Also, will this be enforced on players and staff?

As I’m headed your way next week on a long delayed bi-annual visit from the US, I’ve been working through the wide assortment of varied regulations etc.

It’s crazy to me that border entry requirements are recently being relaxed to encourage tourism, but at the very same moment the Welsh government is making some requirements more difficult.

For the record, I’ve been vaccinated for nearly 6 months and am happy to comply with whatever regulations are introduced. That said, if they are literally impossible to comply with, what then?

Seems my only recourse will be a COVID test before Cardiff , but as it stands now I have to have a day 2 test around then anyhow.

It's still not 100% going ahead.
Also:"Users who want to show a negative test will have to self-certify their result - leading to concerns they could be faked.

To prevent this, the Welsh government plans to make it illegal to fake a negative test."

The vote is today.

That should work as you used the website to get your QR code. It’s what I have done and worked when I went to a gig a couple of weeks ago. Keep an eye on the expiry date though - every time you log in you get a new QR code lasting a month.

This is all very nice, but what exactly is the point of it?

I suppose the powers that be are hoping it will encourage a large percentage of people to stick to the rules and limit any potential spread. Given how few people can seem to be bothered to even wear a mask indoors at this point, I'm not confident it will work unless everywhere enforces it, which we've already seen isn't going to happen.

Well personally I hope people aren't compliant. There's nothing more permanent than a temporary government scheme. If enough people are compliant then the next stage over Xmas will go ahead and get rolled out to bars, restaurants, public transport, workplaces etc.

Shame really, I used to enjoy crowded events like football.

The vote went through by one vote and one MS who was going to vote against it was locked out on Zoom.
Stinks.

So you are talking bobbins...again.

"Millar could be heard telling Presiding Officer Elin Jones: "I'm sorry we still have a member who is desperately trying to get into Zoom."

Elin Jones told Mr Millar: "We are holding the vote please. And we have made every opportunity possible for that named member to get in, including sharing my personal phone."
