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.

east fife away shirt 2001/02

hi guys, have had help from you before, so hopefully you can help again, was wondering if anyone could tell me what the design/colours were of the east fife away shirt from season 01/02.

working on a db of the club colours, and this is the only kit i am missing so any help would be appreciated

Re: east fife away shirt 2001/02

If I remember correctly, this was the season we wore the Pro Star shirt: gold with black piping, black collar, black shorts and socks. Sponsored by Timber Centre. No new away shirt was released that season, we wore the previous season's Xara away shirt. White with black shoulders, two red stripes on each shoulder/ sleeve. Sponsored by Xara Soccer (Kit Manufacturer).
I remember the great J Derrick Brown promoting it at it's launch. "This shirt has been designed so that you can wear it on the beach."

At the end of the day, if you think that you wear your East Fife shirt on holiday more than I do, I can assure you - YOU DO NOT!

Re: east fife away shirt 2001/02

Close but not quite, we had a XARA away shirt but it wasn't the previous season's one. it was white with a red/black collar and sleeve trim

Of all the home and away shirts from 1991 onwards it's the only one I haven't got - AFAIK there were none ordered for fans to buy.

I'll see if I can dig a picture out.

Was there a Pro Star away strip?
While we're on the subject of strips, did we have a silver/grey and black striped version of the New Olympic strip? I seem to remember a guy wearing one some 20 odd years ago. Could it have been a sample, or just ruined in the wash?

Still got the tartan top!

Here's the one you want. I don't remember it. Strange that we had a brand new XARA Soccer away strip and a Pro Star home strip.

Re: east fife away shirt 2001/02

Was there not yet another white Zara one with red/black trim but with a white round collar ?

Almost - if it's the one in my wardrobe, it's as you describe but the collar is a kinda crossover shallow 'v' thing.
