Swansea City Honorary Player

One lucky fan of the British Championship soccer team Swansea City has just been awarded an honorary spot on the team. In July the online casino 32Red.com signed a two year deal with the Swansea City soccer club and they decided to have a contest amongst the team’s many fans in order to give away a spot o the team and receive the team’s official number 32. The lucky fan who won the competition hosted on the soccer team’s website is Ross Mitchell. Mitchell is not only a devoted soccer fan but he is also an avid Blackjack player. His photo will be featured on the website and he will also be included in the team’s official match day line up. This is an opportunity that many soccer fans dream of, but never really get the opportunity to experience so this prize is definitely more than a win at an internet gambling site.

Online casinos have been trying to vary their prizes lately and the creativity seen by each online casino is refreshing to see. The lucky player was delighted to win the grand prize of this giveaway and he was awarded the prize by the team’s manager, Paulo Souza who gave him his official team jersey in a ceremony before the Swansea City’s match against Sheffield United which took place on September 26th. Mitchell has truly accepted this prize as the honor it was intended to be. He has been asked many times if he ever wanted to be a soccer player and like every other English boy, he said yes, but due to his lack of ability this would be as close as he would get to being on a professional soccer team.

The lucky winner was interviewed by the online casino and he had nothing but great things to say. 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”, said Mitchell. The Vice-Chairman for Swansea City, Leigh Dineen said, “This is the first of a number of initiatives we will be working on with our new sponsor 32Red.com this season. It has given us fantastic support so far and I know that they want to involve the fans as much as possible. We have a whole lot more planned this season and next, so check back often to see what you could win. We’ll also keep you posted on Ross’ time with the club.”
