Town confirm Rockin' Robin to stay as mascot after Gunnersaurus' Arsenal exit
SWINDON Town have lovingly confirmed Rockin' Robin will remain as the club's mascot, despite fears the bird may have to be axed as a cost-saving measure due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
FA Cup holders Arsenal 'released' the club's mascot, 'Gunnersaurus' on Monday as part of the Premier League outfit's plan to save money without fans in the stadium.
In a tweet by Swindon Town, the club said: "Don't worry Rockin' Robin, you're safe' with a kiss emoji.
Rockin' Robin will take his place on the sidelines before Town's EFL Trophy game against Exeter City at the County Ground this evening.
