Swindon Town will investigate after several fans reported they were taken ill after visiting the County Ground on Saturday.

A small group of supporters were unwell, including some who suffered from diarrhetic symptoms, after attending the game against Walsall. At this stage, the cause of the issues – and whether they originated at the stadium itself - is not clear.

The Moonraker has spoken to one of those individuals, who went to the game alone.

They were sick during Saturday evening and overnight, but none of their family showed similar symptoms either at the time or since.
