• 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 think this is the last journey of the “Mumbles Train”.
Saw it on Facebook.

Not so much “vintage” but nostalgic.
Home. No, not the prison before you say anything. 😉
Fabulous photo, not mine, but thanks to Peter Morgan. I hope he won’t mind me posting this, if so I’ll take it down.

Victoria station and Mumbles train shed still there but tracks missing.
Anyone spot their house? My old school is there.

Seeing Squeeze as the support act on the poster and that other posters on the wall mention Hackney & other Londony type places, I think that poster would have been for The Tubes show in 1977 at Hammersmith Odeon as it was still then known. Iirc, I think they may have done 2 nights there which were recorded and became the What Do You Want From Live double album released in '78. I was at one of those shows and it was the first time I'd seen The Tubes live and it still goes down as one of the best live shows I've ever been to.
