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

Last night's 4-2 win report from a Bournemouth perspective.
Swansea City secured a 4–2 victory over AFC Bournemouth in the Professional Development League on Tuesday evening at the Joma High Performance Centre.
Under the lights in a 7pm kick-off, the Swans delivered an attacking display, capitalising on early pressure and moments of transition to put the Cherries on the back foot. Despite spells of promise and attacking intent from Bournemouth, Swansea’s cutting edge in key moments ultimately proved decisive.
The hosts made a quick start, opening the scoring inside two minutes. A high press forced an early turnover and Morgan Bates was on hand to apply the finish, setting the tone for a sharp and aggressive Swansea performance.
Alan Connell's side looked to respond positively. Koby Mottoh delivered a dangerous free-kick into the box, though Joseph Collins reacted well to claim. Remy Rees-Dottin nearly linked up with Eugene Nyarko in the area soon after, but Swansea’s defence recovered in time.
Jonny Day provided a constant outlet, driving directly at his defender and forcing space for a shot that drifted just wide. At the other end, Swansea showed their threat in transition. Winning the ball deep inside their own half, they broke forward with pace before Joshua Pescatore found the net in the 31st minute to double the lead.
The Reds responded almost immediately. Michael Dacosta Gonzalez produced a moment of quality, weaving past three defenders before firing home from the edge of the box to reduce the deficit in the same minute.
The Cherries pushed for an equaliser before the break. Charlie Stevens delivered an inviting cross that Nyarko met, only to see his effort hit the side netting. Day attempted an ambitious bicycle kick after clever play from Nyarko, but the effort flew over the bar.
Swansea, however, carried a clinical threat. Bates went close again with a header just wide before half-time, as the hosts went into the interval leading 2–1.
AFC Bournemouth began the second half with renewed intensity, pressing high and limiting Swansea’s build-up. But once again, the hosts capitalised on a key moment.
Thomas Woodward, introduced from the bench, made an immediate impact in the 59th minute. Reacting sharply to a loose ball, he combined with Pescatore before receiving the return cross and firing past Danny Dixon with just his second touch of the game to make it 3–1.
Changes followed for the Cherries in the 61st minute, as Ethan Sills and Charlie Osbourne were introduced in an attempt to inject fresh energy. Ade Solanke joined the action in the 76th minute.
Despite the Cherries' efforts, Swansea extended their lead when Pescatore struck again from inside the box to make it 4–1.
There were still flashes of promise for the visitors. Rees-Dottin reacted sharply to a Solanke pass inside the area but was denied by Collins. The winger continued to threaten and was rewarded in the 84th minute, dancing past defenders before slotting home to pull a goal back in the last 10 minutes.
Sills delivered an excellent cross-field pass to find Day late on, but Collins stood firm once more. A final forward surge from Solanke and Day hinted at a late comeback, yet Swansea managed the closing stages well to secure the win, 4-2.

A rugby match broke out this afternoon in Sheffield, where the U21's were beaten 8-6 by Huddersfield.
Defensive masterclass.
