Swindon are desperate to stage their game with Southend United

Swindon supporters have joined staff to help clear the County Ground of snow in an attempt to allow Saturday's game with Southend United to go ahead.

Many fans moved snow off the protective covers which have been on the pitch since the beginning of the week.

The snow was seven inches deep in some parts and chief executive Nick Watkins told BBC Radio Swindon he was grateful for their efforts.

"Its a great turnout and a fantastic effort. I can't thank them enough."
