The PC Fanstation range of CD-ROMs offers avid sports followers a wealth

of information about their favourite teams.

Hove-based Where and When Sports (WAWSports) has created technology-driven fanzines for top football teams, including Liverpool, Aston Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion, Formula 1 and Rugby SuperLeague teams.

CD-ROMs include team pictures, profiles, interviews, history, walk-through video tours and a desktop countdown clock to the next fixture The Fanstations also include internet software which provides free updates of the latest fixtures and results as they happen. The Sussex Innovation Centre offered support to WAW-Sports at the business start-up stage, two years ago, and provided information from the Commercialisation Support Group (CSG) on the international market potential of the firm's products.

Last year, the CSG researchers logged on to find information about Europe and American markets where WAWSports is now beginning to make in-roads with releases such as Indianapolis 500.

Nigel Chantler, WAWSports chief executive officer, said: "The innovation centre has been a tower of strength to our company and the CSG has given us valuable information. Our success, both abroad and at home, has been greatly accelerated due to their efforts. We have already ordered the replication of more than 400,000 CD-ROMs in the last eight weeks and expect this total to exceed four million by November."

WAWSports expects to be producing Fanstations for 55 football clubs across Europe by the end of the year and has already 25 signed deals with top league teams.

The company has grown from four degree-qualified IT professionals in 1999 to 15 full-time staff today.
