• 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

Don’t worry yourself senseless trying to be perfect at something. Just do the best you can, as that’s the most anyone can do.

As a young man i worked away a lot all over the country i loved the lifestyle and earned a lot of money. I got married and not long after my daughter came along. A Geordie i was working with said to me you need to make a decision now. Know your children and take part in bringing them up or give them a good lifestyle it’s difficult to do both.
He said his daughter got married at 21 he was asked to give a speech as father of the bride and realised he didn’t really know her and other friends and family told tales of incidents of family gatherings that he knew nothing about. She had everything she wanted as a child but he didn’t know her at all.

It really struck me at the time as you could see how much he regretted not spending time with his kids and i changed jobs almost immediately, i have had a great relationship with my kids but i can see how easy it would have been to have missed out on that.
