Walliver 0 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 32Red 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." http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/press-rele...y-fc-119648.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Just an advert for the sponsor basically. Which is fair enough but they can save the "Football is becoming increasingly commercial but both Swansea and 32Red know the priority lies with the fans" shite.
