IF being a mascot at Swindon Town would be your Christmas dream come true, then here’s your chance to make it happen.


The Adver has teamed up with taxi and private hire firm V Cars to offer a fantastic prize.


All you have to do is nominate a youngster for it and tell us why they deserve to win. 
The package includes a stadium tour and the chance to meet the players, as well as leading the team on to the pitch at the County Ground.


Nominees may have had a tough time in 2019. Or maybe they spend their time volunteering to help others or caring for a family member.Whatever the story, we want to hear it.


We’ll feature a selection of the entries in the run up to Christmas before judging all those who were nominated and picking a winner, who will lead the team out for Cambridge game.


Adver editor Pete Gavan said: “This is a great chance to make one Town fan’s Christmas one they will never forget. 
“We want you to let us know someone who’s really deserving of the prize, a youngster who’s really gone the extra mile in 2019.”


Nominations should be sent to newsdesk@swindonadvertiser.co.uk and be no more than 200 words, with ‘Mascot competition’ in the subject line. We need the full name of the person you’re nominating, the reason why, and yours and their contact details. The closing date for entry is December 13.


General manager of V Cars Kane Wollen said: “V Cars is the biggest and best taxi and private hire operator in Swindon and we are proud to be associated with Swindon Town Football Club. This Christmas, we’re serving the local community something different and spreading some festive cheer along the way. 


“One lucky Swindon Town fan will have the chance to experience being at the very heart of a matchday with a mascot package for Boxing Day. At V Cars we create #amazingjourneys, and this is just one of them!”
