FORMER Swindon Town star Charlie Austin has backed the Samsung Win A Pro Contract competition as it reaches its business end once again. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/11022497.POLL__Austin_backs_Win_a_Pro_as_the_finals_loom_again/?ref=rss Title: Re: Adver News: POLL: Austin backs Win a Pro as the finals loom again Post by: Power to people on Thursday, February 20, 2014, 10:31:32 What is the point of this they never seem to make it through to the first team and end up getting released

We have had 3 winners join us so far and the winners are all amateur footballers so just what does anybody expect? Even most pros/semi-pros in the lower leagues are unlikely to make it in the league. We might have little chance of actually unearthing a gem but there is still a chance and it costs us absolutely fuck all in the meantime.

Why would we not do it? We, as a club, have nothing to lose and plenty to gain.
