Hello, world’s biggest carrot.
Beat Salford City in their FA Cup third-round clash next week, and the prize for Swindon Town will be a trip to one of English football’s biggest clubs.
The Robins and Salford shared ball 20 in the fourth-round draw, which took place at Anfield on Monday night (January 12). And their number ended up paired with Manchester City’s.
From a sporting perspective, the reward for the Town players is obvious – the chance to share a pitch with Erling Haaland, Rodri, Bernardo Silva and the rest.
