Away From The Numbers

All good things come to an end. Or so they say. AFTN has been around since 1989, first as a fanzine and then making the jump to a website and forum in 2003. We've been through the many ups and down at East Fife in those 12 years but policing the forum has become a giant pain in the ass in recent years. As such, we made the decision not to renew it when it expired.

The forum is no more and will remain as a locked archive until it is eventually deleted by the host. We're looking in to try to save some of the content as an archive.

This is not the end of AFTN though. The site will continue and will be revamped and return in its full glory for the start of the 2016/17 season. Maybe even sooner. There will be a comment sections and possibly even a new, registered forum. Check our Twitter (@aftnwebsite) for all the latest info and we'll also post in on the EFFC memories Facebook page.

Until then, have a last browse here, thanks for all your support over the years, and 'Mon the Fife.

Craig O'Reilly

Any News on big Craig? I'd hoped we'd get him signed up at the end of the season but it has gone very quiet on that front.

Not a good sign methinks!!!!

Re: Craig O'Reilly

Don`t think he will be signing.More than likely hoping for a Division 1/2 team coming in for him.

Watch this space !

Re: Craig O'Reilly

Any news on Big Craig ? He & McManus sounds a potent force upfront

Re: Craig O'Reilly

fee is agreed, he's staying with us

Re: Craig O'Reilly

Brilliant news....really is

Re: Craig O'Reilly

Has this been confirmed?
If so this is great news
Craig and Paul up front next season they will run the league together

Re: Craig O'Reilly

Was reading Craig's Bebo site and he was keen on staying with us if the fee could be sorted out, so great news if it now has.

I've got to say that O'Reilly and McManus is one of our most exciting striking partnerships for years and the fact that they're both young and hopefully on long contracts mean we're building a team for the future that we won't have to dismantle.

Re: Craig O'Reilly

According to today's Courier, O'Reilly will be joining and is expected to sign a contract this evening.

Re: Craig O'Reilly

He is according to this

Re: Craig O'Reilly

Here's today's Courier report

O’Reilly set for Methil
EAST FIFE are expected to complete a permanent deal for on-loan Dundee striker Craig O’Reilly within the next 24 hours—while two other new faces have also signed on at New Bayview.

The move for O’Reilly will be seen as a major coup for the Methil club as many fans had been resigned to seeing the striker leave to play at a higher level in the summer.

It is understood that O’Reilly has verbally agreed a contract which he is expected to sign tonight.

The 19-year-old was hugely instrumental in helping the Fifers reach last season’s play-off final, scoring 19 times, and boss Dave Baikie will no doubt be hoping O’Reilly’s goals can turn his side into genuine title contenders in the coming season.

Veteran goalkeeper Paul Mathers has joined after quitting second division champions Morton earlier this month, while Peterhead midfielder Dougie Cameron has also signed.

The Fifers are also pursuing their interest in Peterhead midfielder Chris Hegarty as a possible replacement for Neil Jablonski, who left for Australia at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, the club have scotched reports that Raith target Paul McManus has already signed for them on a three-year deal.

East Fife are still favourites to capture the striker’s signature in the next few days, but the club have been forced to await an official decision by the SFL on the player’s registration before making a move.
