Smith hopes to fly back for Wembley final
SWINDON Town may have faltered in their own play-off challenge, but defender Jack Smith is still eyeing a trip to Wembley for the traditional end-of-season showpiece.
Smith's brother Tommy will be hoping to crown the perfect season by securing an immediate return to the Premiership with Watford, and the Town full-back plans to be sat under the Wembley Arch when it happens.
The League One play-offs get underway tonight when Doncaster and Southend lock horns, but Chicago-bound Smith, pictured, admits he won't be rushing to any bars to catch the action.
"I tried it once before and the wife was not very happy so let's just say never again. The Championship play-offs are a bit different though because, with my brother being involved, she will understand if I keep an eye on that."

I hope these dreary scoops??!!are not going to be an ongoing feature from these people at the Adver. More investigative journalism please, something that might interest the masses. It does however involve getting out and about. Who are these players the management are interested in? Foreign & at home? Who were they after from Barnet?
