The Robins finished the campaign in sixth and earned a place in the League Two play-offs.

But Swindon’s season ended in heartbreak after they were beaten on penalties by eventual play-off winners Port Vale in the semis.

Worthing’s match against the Robins will kick-off at 3pm with admission prices to be announced nearer the time.
