Fears calmed over Swindon future

Swindon director Bob Holt has tried to ease fears the club could be served with a winding up order if they fail to pay an overdue VAT bill.

The deadline to make payment is 2 February and Holt said: "We are in the process of raising additional funds.

"Our major shareholders are using property to raise funds and it has taken slightly longer than expected.

"There is no real need for alarm as we expect to have the money by the end of the week."
