He continued: 'One of his coaches, Andy Wilson, requested a CASH4Clubs subsidy funded by Flutter. They heard above all the great work they are doing to cultivate American football in the United Kingdom and keep adults involved in sports.
'So here I am, on Swindon's largest screen, to tell him that his club is the first of 200 clubs throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland to receive a Cash4clubs subsidy this year. Good luck in the Bafa League. And remember: You are the storm! Enjoy the great game tonight.
