Keep hearing the swansea football fans called the JACK ARMY.

Anybody know the derivation o

f their name.

Maybe because before yesterday they had won Jack all?

I don't have a clue the real reason and I ain't a swansea fan!

Jack Army
Followers of Swansea City Football Club

The Jack Army represents the contingent who rarely actually make it to games having either got too drunk, been beaten up by rival supporters, been arrested or all of the above.

When they do make it to games they chant the 2 words 'Jack Army' repeatedly from the terraces in order to assure temselves of their identity
From the terrace
"Jack Army, Jack Army, Jack Army, Jack Army, Jack Army, Jack Army, Jack Army, oooooooohhhhhh, Jack Army, Jack Army, Jack Army, Jack Army, Aaaaaaaaaaaaa, Jack Army, Jack Army"

I've heard more esoteric chants:

You're gonna get your -------- heads kicked in (Middlesbrough)
To the tune of The Mighty Quinn: Come on without, come on within - Come to the Tin Hut end and get your heads kicked in (Darlington)
When the Police held home supporters back to give away fans time to get to the train station - "We know the shortcuts"

I will bring some of my jack army supporters with me to the national and pol. Men of big words behind the computer.

And for the record we are the most well behaved fans in the premiership! FACT!

If you are from Swansea you are knowing as a "Swansea Jack." Llanelli people are known as "turks"
