• 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

My father has kept a diary since his teens and sent this clipping over from 40 years ago today…nice to see!

 
I remember that game at Highbury. Looking at the scorers in the other games brings back memories - Eric Gates for Ipswich and Frank Worthington for Birmingham. Garth Crooks too.
 
Some pretty dire attendances there. The obvious exception the Manchester Derby.

Where Kevin Reeves scored.

Him and Francis minced us up at Maine Road too.

Great warm memories of that season. Moreso than the inflated prem. I was at Highbury as had moved to the smoke. Had 3 mates up and kipping in my crap single room. Totally rat arsed and the look on the taxi drivers face when we said 'Peckham' at about 2am. "You must be fucking joking". Have no recall of how we got back but somehow we did. Then one of my speakers fell on my mates head 🤣. I didn't understand the concept of rawlplugs.

Brilliant day, and days.
 
Nice post.

Like many I was up at Arsenal.
Sure that was the game we were singing "whats the score Bryan Moore, what's the score."
Fighting our way into the away end terrace before the game and definitely fighting back out after!

Wonder what those who whine about a bit of swearing would have made of those old days- now thankfully long gone... Hopefully
