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

As a fledgling 16yr old, life wasn't any better. The trip back saw me and my mates planning trips we could only have dreamt of.

I remember being on the services - think it was Kenning - where there was a bridge connecting both sides of the motorway, and the Blackburn fans stopped on the opposite side and came running over.

I was playing and on the committee of Neath League side, Longford. We'd booked a weekend away in Blackpool months before, not knowing what the significance of that weekend would end up being. The coach driver agreed to drive to Preston on the morning of the game
We got tickets, and thereby witnessed one of the best days of our lives, as Swansea supporters. Doesn't happen too often in life.

Whilst the Reading Wembley day was incredible for the younger generation as well as everyone else. I just feel so lucky to have witnessed the day which meant a footballing miracle had been achieved.

It was a strange but great day.. being behind the goal when Leighton James scored the terrace went mental. We had Blackburn fans to our right supporting Preston as they needed to beat Bristol Rovers away on the last day to pip us. The Blackburn train crossed ours at Stafford when both trains stopped just a platform apart. Then we got the customary bricking from Cardiff fans leaving Cardiff Central. Fab day one for the memory.
