• 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

I saw an episode of “Dorking uncovered” on the “Bunch of amachers” YouTube channel going back about a year or so ago and the story of them rising up from local park football to bordering on promotion to the national league really intrigued me.

I also really like the manager Mark White who’s a bit of a character who is also the owner, chairman, tea lady and everything in between. They’re 1 of only 2 or 3 clubs in the NL who aren’t professional and the majority of their players have come up through the leagues with them as well. They’ve done absolutely fantastic to even stay in the league considering they have no budget for transfers etc. I can see them doing well over the next couple seasons.

Thanks, I shall take a look.

Much more popular in the US than perhaps Welsh folk imagine. I have US based colleagues who talk to me about them; of course it goes without saying that I remind everyone that they are only the second biggest team in Wales.
 
A lot being made of Wrexham getting promoted but Newport getting back to the league after actual extinction and exile is a far bigger story / fairytale

Tell them if they enjoyed Welcome to Wrexham then they should love Jack to a King... ;)

Of course it was, but they weren't owned at the time by American celebrities and didn't have a global hit documentary series about them. Not surprising more is being made of Wrexham because of those factors.

I enjoyed the first series and am looking forward to the next one, which will have a happier ending.
 
Not that bothered, but well done them.
Make a good film I suppose.👍

TikTok wasn’t around in those days. The platform has played a significant role in the Wrexham story.

However, you’re right about the achievement of Newport. Much bigger in terms of stature.

I did actually once mutter the words “we had a DVD made”, closely followed with a sigh.

Indeed, but I'm a football fan, not a celebrity fan
 
P'raps they'll now get a decent club badge.....three feathers and "Ich dien" FFS! Still, well done Wrecsam.
 
I’ve been to Wrexham away to watch us 6 times.
Every time their fans were c^nts.
They can go f*ck emselves.
I hope they go straight back down.
