SWINDON Town Supporters Trust and Swindon Town Official Supporters Club have teamed up to encourage fans to bring along a scarf and create a sea of red at the County Ground on Saturday as Ben Garner's men welcome Oldham Athletic.

The supporter groups hope that, as the players emerge from the tunnel shortly before kick-off, the bumper crowd will welcome them onto the pitch by holding up scarves and waving flags in a similar scene to Liverpool's Kop Stand at Anfield.

Trust STFC said: "With a plethora of complimentary tickets being shared with season-ticket holders and emergency service workers this weekend, we hope to make the County Ground a fortress of red.

"By doing this, we hope it will show the players the fans’ support for them and aid our push up the league with another three points.

"We’re entering the business end of the season now, and the team need all the support they can get from the local community for the remaining home and away games!

"Let’s keep the energy and support continuing right through until the final league fixture of the campaign."
