The EMG has issued the following statement:

http://www.argylefanstrust.com/2012/10/28/emg-statement

As a result, according to the Trust's Election Policy, candidates John Petrie, Jon Sparkes and Andy Symons will be declared elected at the AGM on November 24th.

The Trust would like to express its thanks to outgoing board members Paul Bartolini, Richard Blight, and John Demellweek for their service.

One further volunteer will be co-opted to the board after the AGM to bring the board up to six members.

Andy Symons- never heard of him

Posty doesn't want Andy representing him so is cancelling his membership

Congratulations Andy. I knew you were good for something!

I hope I'm wrong, but I can see you coming under fire from certain quarters, possibly another deepthroat type account? Maybe Windsor Boy will be resurrected or derrick sanderson, aka green lane, will start posting again.

If they do Andy, stand your ground mate, you have plenty of support on your side, what's that? Plenty of support on his front too

Thanks Jock. I made the decision to put myself forward after conversations with Tim, John P and others. Tim was kind enough to nominate me.

I'm fully concious that there has been a sustained campaign from certain quarters to undermine the Trust over the past year. I don't doubt for a minute that there will be some people who will seek to continue that campaign, particularly after I have put myself forward and have been elected -albeit because only three people were nominated; I would have welcomed an election and the chance to debate the issues with other candidates, but unfortunately it's not to be. I guess that's because the ferocity of some of the attacks - particularly the personal nature of some of them - will have discouraged people from putting themselves forward. Also, it's apparent that some people can be very vociferous in some areas of their support for the club, yet shy away from actually putting their name in front of any sort of electorate, be it PASB or Trust.

I'm fully commited to the aims and objectives of the Trust, and look forward to working with the other Board members to grow the membership, get the best possible deal for fans in concluding the share offer the James Brent has made and I'm particularly looking forward to working on the various community projects, starting with the collection for Plymouth Foodbank, which I know the Trust and its members will support wholeheartedly.

Disappointed to see those guys stepping down but pleased to see Andy stepping up. The Trust needs strong characters, it has just gained one.

There will be a strong, verbal and if needed, ferocious support for you Andy.



Oh and bye Postey, one less shytster in the pack can only be a good thing for the Trust and PAFC.

I notice the two turds who tried to make out Andy never attended games unless he had a free ticket (on pasoti, despite Andy having an ST), have both said they are cancelling their membership.

I agree Gob, I think there'll be another campaign of innuendo and multis against the trust/ Andy. It's already started with their attempts to protect Hooper. Of course we can always PM posty telling him which accounts are multi accounts on pasoti but I think he already knows.

Well done Andy!

There's only about a dozen turds, the rest are just the turds pretending to be other turds.

Bad boy lists both on the pasoti thread.

Found it, thanks CA.

Ian Newell on Twitter, I've been with the trust since day one but have sunk to new depths with Andy Symons, no thanks.

Does the fat fool think people forget it was his post about not renewing his Trust membership that spawned all the deepthroat and other accounts attacking the Trust last time?

I expect Jameson will be next to cancel his membership followed by Chris Webb and wozzer!

Whoopty doo. Off you pop then fellas. You all have such short memories when it comes to cowardly attacks.

I would hope Ian Newell and pl2 faced not being members of the Trust would attract a fair few non members who were disgusted at the deepthroat wankers behaviour.

Well done Andy. The knives will be out for you but what's new? At least that piece of shit Postey has left the Trust, so some good has come of it already. Is that the second time he has flounced now? I bet he is desperately creating more multi accounts as we speak.

So is it Pasoti posters only that can stand for the trust as far as posty and no doubt a few more followers are concerned or is it called the ARGYLE FANS trust. Feck all those who follow pl2, wankstains. Congrats Andy and well done for standing, perhaps a few more from ATD will join now and show their support. PL2 would just love that.

Well done Andy.

It's 3 am and as usual I cannot sleep, so I turn to Pasoti to make me sleepy It has that effect on me these days! Congratulations Mr Symons and the two others, it's good to know The Trust has such committed people on the Committee, I continue to give my 100% backing to The Trust !!

I have posted a reply on the Trust Thread concerning the 3 people who have volunteered their time and efforts ( free ) to assist the Trust 'going forward '.

I read the thread and was shocked by the child-like tit for tat playground argument put forward by PL etc, why deprive the Trust of a valued 10pounds because you do not like someone ? Pasoti seems to be about posting 'personal vendettas' these days, as can be seen by the even more child-like response from someone called ZZ something !

After the awful Tony C-H saga and his personal vendetta we now have another one surfacing! Maybe we should all bare our souls on Pasoti these days, it must be good therapy ?! Thank goodness for ATD and it's more mature outlook !



I do not know Mr Symons personally, as far as I know we have never met 'face to face', or looked him in the eyes, is he really such a scary person.......?


Update in the later morning. I now see good posts from our friend Womble and Gareth, good support for Andy Symons.

my post was this,

Congratulations to Jon and John but I won't have Symons representing me so therefore I wish to have my Trust membership cancelled and I will confirm this by email.


Just reading this at 2.55 AM and thinking I am half asleep, ( wish I was ! ) , I read it a few times and wondered if this was someone ( a child ) using PL2 3DQ 's account, surely not ?

I do not know Mr Symons but surely to deprive the Trust of your, I'm sure , very welcome ten pounds is a little bit over the top shall we say? It smacks of childish playground tit for tat, in my opinion, not the stance of an adult.

Whatever Mr Symons has done to you surely you can give him credit for volunteering his time and effort ( free ) to work on a Committee to further the aims of The Trust that some of us support wholeheartedly ?

As for the comment below by another poster, ZZ something, this all smacks of personal vendettas on Pasoti
the same as the Tony C - H saga, what is happening to Pasoti these days ? Maybe it's good therapy to 'bare our souls' on here these days, now do I have a personal vendetta that you should all know about......

Congratulations Andy, well done for stepping up. As you've already guessed I hope you have a thick skin.

The cancellation of membership because you don't like someone who is on the board is ludicrous and plainly doesn't work elsewhere.

I'm a Labour Party member but do I like all the shadow cabinet? No.
Damon has mentioned on here how Mr Pulis was maybe not the warmest of chaps but did he work with him..? Yes.

If one person can cause you to not support an ideal, then the ideal cannot have been very important in the first place.

Plainly these people place more value in character wars than the advancement of Plymouth Argyle and the Trust.

What a surprise, zeezan has also slated Andy on the same thread. Andy will be devastated that she no longer considers him a friend!

What a stupid little girl she is. I hope she gets suitably rewarded for her comments, it looks like she could do with a treat.

Why ever would Andy seem bitter and not want to mix with the likes of zeezan? I also can't believe he no longer wants to mingle with the Pasoti mods and their cronies? Doesn't want to sit next to Newell at a fanfest or next to Lee Jameson on a GT'S coach lookin at ATD posters private information as supplied by Tony Hooper.

Grow the feck up zeezan, and take your empty head out of your not insubstantial ass before joining in with the rest of the wankers.

At least zeezan can now buy another Forza Verde scarf with her saved £10, and still have enough for a MacDonalds.

Papa Newell will be so proud of you.

A couple of additional thoughts:

1. It's ironic that people are critical of someone who has stepped up to help the Trust and put themselves in the public eye. Wasn't that their battle cry when the "war" was on?

2. It doesn't take a genius to work out that someone who is not a "PASOTI type" and maybe an inhabitant of these shores could have stood for the Trust elections. They could have stood themselves you know.

3. How Ian can criticise that there are no elections when Lee Jameson has been parachuted onto the PASB with still no details as to how he got there. If there had been two more candidates then there would have been an election (and a well organised one I'm sure). Simples.

Is anyone here "active" within PASALB? John? If so how did the PASALB nomination process work?

I'm sure these fine upstanding people are typing or twattering their displeasure at Lee Jameson and Hooper the snooper gaining a place on the PASB, given the part Jameson played in deepthroat and Hooper being employed to spy on a fellow Argyle fan, especially as Newell knows for sure Hooper did, and was so disgusted by their behaviour that he told Jameson so on the GT'S coach to Morecambe, where Lee was showing him my mothers details.
,
And I'm certain that they have already written to the archbishop of Canterbury to try and get fanfests banned, due to the vile content of the jokes told during these gatherings, if not it would appear extremely hypocritical and these fine upstanding moral crusader wouldn't be so two faced would they?

Yes, yes they must be typing their displeasure as we speak. Meanwhile Zeezanis probably in MacDonalds.

Well done Andy for putting yourself in the firing line.

I think I'll join the Trust now.
