• 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

I see that Sainsbury’s is closing for good at the end of the month. Anyone know what’s replacing it. There’s bound to be some busy c*** on her who knows what’s going on :D

Nash Sports gone too, which was an institution. And the Swansea Sharks swim/triathlon shop.

These little hubs are super important to the area. We moved out Bishopston way 5 or 6 years ago now, but used to live between Sketty and Uplands and we still shop there more than anywhere else. Still miss the butchers in Sketty :(
 
Co-op have taken over Sainsburys.

Pity about Nash's - Even though the son recently tried rebranding it and taking it from from the 60's to an 80's looking shop, it was always destined to fail.

As regards the Sharks opposite, rumour had it that they only went in there to (allegedly) launder some money for a few years and get back out again.

Hope this helps :D

Thanks Russ very interesting.
Hope you’re well my friend?
 
I'm amazed that the locksmith continues to survive. They must have impressive margins.

Is the post office still open? I feel sure I read it was closing.

Half of it's been converted into an office. I think there's still a counter or collection point though.
 
There's a new coop open down Walter Road in the old pub White Rose
 
Aren't there 2 cworp's in Killay as well ?
They're taking over Swansea at this rate.

Am not surprised with the prices they're charging :o
