Why PASOTI?
It all started with the player sponsorship deal we got together in May 1996, in which 30 fans donated ten pounds each to secure Neil Illman's strip for the 96/97 season. Then came Neil Illman's Fantasy Football, which saw even more money coming in without any apparent place to put it. Therefore we decided to give ourselves a proper name, a bank account, a constituion and obtain official recognition from the club so that fans could be sure their money was going to a secure and reliable place.
There were other reasons as well though. I have often received email from people abroad supporting the idea of a fan club, as they felt this would help them to feel more 'involved' in goings on at Home Park. Also, we have never been very good at arranging social events and gatherings and James and I often conflicted on whatwas being said to the press and the club. Lastly, James and I have always footed the escalating expenses of phonecalls to upload the information on the Internet and maintain the mailing and we both felt that if the pages and list continued to grow, we could no longer afford to foot the phone bills by ourselves.
The Main Aims of PASOTI
1) To ensure that fans worldwide can have free, 24 hour access to
information about Plymouth Argyle through the WWW and through a mailing
lsit.
2) To try to keep this information as accurate and as up to date as
possible
3) To encourage dialogue between Plymouth Argyle fans (and other fans)
who enjoy the Internet - both through Interactive Web Pages and the Mailing
List
4) To support Plymouth Argyle and Plymouth Argyle Youth Development in
any way we can. Most of the funds from PASOTI are channelled into player
sponsorship and in the case of fantasy football into PAYD.
