Good evening and welcome to the County Ground as Swindon Town host League Two leaders Forest Green Rovers in their penultimate home game of the season. Swindon Town can move into the playoffs tonight depending on how results fall. Regardless this is a must-win encounter if the Robins are to keep any grip on a potential trip to Wembley.
