• 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 worked with Spencer’s father in the GPO many, many years ago when I was an apprentice, he was a tidy guy. From Townhill I think.
 
Some great memories just in one snapshot there .

Way back in the day , The Stranglers , Sparks and so many others who at the time , were on the way up .

Luckily I love live music shows and attending events , still do . Bands at The Rank made it happen .

Some of the visiting groups too , I believe the likes of Deep Purple and The Police , unknown at that time tried to navigate The Kingsway road layout to perform , must have been easier in them days .

Need reminding of The Buccanear though , grey cells are leaving me , Griffin part of The Dragon Hotel and the awesome Prince of Wales next door .

Never ventured to Doras though , bad scene , so I was told , think they also had some good acts on there .
