• 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

Spuds will offer him another 12 months minimum, and he'll start at least 15 games next season, Ange still rates him.
 
Model pro and one of the few star players who has left us and broke the Swansea curse to have a successful career.
 
Listening to Ben there made me think about the changes around the club since we reached the Prem. Feelings on the old owners are obviously mixed given the sale, but at least they did use our time in the PL to totally transform the facilities at the club for the players. With Landore and Fairwood, I think it's fair to say Ben would be impressed if he did come back to play for us again.

Weren’t those facilities in place before he left? Too lazy to search and work out myself 🤣
 
His father also attends virtually every home gain in Swansea
Ain't seen him in years nice guy, nice family. Ben played for Cwrt Herbet Colts, my team played them throughout the ages from 5 up to 16, a few went to Swansea, Ben was the only one that made it, he was there from the age of 6 or 7 from what I can remember.

His Father was a decent Rugby player, played for Seven Sisters for years, I think he played Cricket as well, can't remember his name now memory has gone to shit these days !

That's a good question, so did some searching online.

According to the official site, Landore opened in September 2013 and the extensions (to work towards Academy 1 status) were completed while Huw was still in charge, although I can't find the exact date: https://www.swanseacity.com/news/swans-open-new-academy-training-complex-facilities

I don't know when we started training at Fairwood, but there's a club video on Youtube showing off the investment and extension completed in January 2017, well before relegation:

Which of Landore and Fairwood do the first team mostly use, do you know?
