Swindon Town FC players raise spirits with GWH visit

While the club may be going through a rough patch on the pitch following the weekend's 2-0 loss to Crawley, off the pitch Robins players have been doing what they can to spread some festive cheer. 

Several players from the club spent their Monday morning at the Swindon hospital's Children's Ward, where they spent time with some of the young patients and even brought them gifts.

Great Western Hospital thanked the players for their kind efforts and shared some pictures of the day. 

A spokesperson from the hospital said: "A big thank you to the players of Swindon Town Football Club who visited the Children's Ward this morning to deliver some gifts and festive cheer to some of our younger patients who are spending time in the hospital.

"Thanks Swindon Town Football Club for brightening up our day."

Swindon's next game is against AFC Wimbledon at the County Ground on December 10 where fans will be hoping for some festive cheer of their own with the team putting an end to their recent run of four games without a win.
