Online Casino has revealed that a lucky Swansea City FC fan and
32Red player will be joining his favourite team for the season.
Sporting the official number 32 shirt of the South Wales club,
the fan will be able to get close up and personal with the squad
throughout the 2009/10 season.
32Red
Online Casino became Swansea City FC club sponsor in a two
year deal in May. The partnership sees the 32Red.com logo displayed
prominently on the Swan's home and away shirts as well becoming
the club's official gaming partner, offering over 350 casino games
in their online
casino, online poker, bingo and more to Swansea fans.
Ross
Mitchell, the 32Red winner and die-hard Swansea fan, said, "Most
fans have dreamt of seeing their name in the matchday programme,
and given my lack of footballing ability this is the only way
I could have got to do it. The entire competition is a terrific
idea and I hope others get a chance to experience what I have,
thank you Swansea City, and thank you 32Red.com".
Ross
will be in the official team photograph for the 2009/10 season,
will feature in the squad list in matchday programmes and be involved
in a range of team activities, becoming an integral part of the
Swansea FC team this season.
Swansea
City FC vice-chairman, Leigh Dineen, said: "This is the first
of a number of initiatives we will be working on with our new
sponsor 32Red this season.
"They
have given us fantastic support so far and I know that they want
to involve the fans as much as possible.
"Ross
attended our game against Sheffield United recently where he was
given the full VIP treatment. Manager Paulo Sousa presented him
with his No.32 shirt and had a good chat with Ross. With the amount
of injuries we've got at the moment, he may have to wear the shirt
on the pitch soon''
Mark
Quayle, Head of Marketing for 32Red Online Casino, remarked: "This
is just the first of many competitions we plan to run with Swansea
to celebrate our partnership with this proud and progressive club.
Football is becoming increasingly commercial but both Swansea
and 32Red know the priority lies with the fans. We both plan to
ensure these next two years are as exciting and as special as
possible for them."
Ross
saw the competition on the official Swans
website and "felt it was too good an opportunity to miss
out on. I enjoy playing a bit of blackjack
and so the chance to become the number 32 for the Swans was just
too tempting, so I went through the official site and registered
at 32Red's online casino and got playing. But he was taken by
surprise when he returned a call from the club to star as the
team's number 32."
