    I am the Managing Director of a new sports fan based online community based in the UK. Fanbanta is a soccer (football) social networking website that caters for every football fan’s every needs. The service launches in the next 6 months.

    I would like to use this opportunity to network with and meet like minded individuals and ventures.
