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.

hi all, my son and ten of his mates (east fife fan club leeds), are going to the game at stirling on saturday, do you meet at the bar in the ground,or a pub nearby? they should be easy to spot 11 english accents in fife gear.
hope we get right result, see you all soon.
The cricket club is the usual watering hole for the Fife fans, situated conveniently 200 metres from the car park at the away stand.
Last time we were at Forthbank we met up at the bar adjacent to the Holiday Inn Express, which is just on the south side of the 'away' car park. Better atmosphere than the cricket club in my opinion, and its only a 199 metre walk.
The post match pint was in the Dunblane Hydro presumably!
Kinross, Hillfoots route,
Dunfermline, Alloa route
or Forth Road Bridge, M9 route?
Tried them all in the past but cannot remember which was best. Usually go via Dunfy but that tpook around 1 hr 20 mins! Seemed very long journey!
What I've found to be not bad in the past is to go Kincardine Bridge, then about a mile after the bridge take the Airth road. Quite a quiet run from there and just after passing through Fallin you'll come to a roundabout just outside Stirling - take a right and you're about there.
And S-Pat - yes, several post match pints in the Hydro!

The Airth road when exiting the ground is the best option, very quiet normally.
