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.

GoF

Re: move on

its ok saying Mcquade must be giving a chance but for me something about him stinks...here's a guy who should have ripped 2nd division defences apart but 2 managers now have seen fit to keep him on the bench mostly, which means his attitude in training cant be that great.
i'm not an admirer of Bobby Linn BUT we looked a far poorer team against Airdrie without him...very 1 dimensional on Saturday imo(great away support BTW).
Brown,Campbell,Whtye,Cook(good player to have in squad)Durie,Sloan(hopefully in central midfield!!)Smith,Linn,Wallace,McCormack.

And who would you have dropped to make way for Paul McQuade? Paul has been a victim of Ryan Wallace's success pure and simple. He isn't able to replace Hissy or Dalziel, different type of player altogether.

Only Div Muir signed for next season. Everybody else is out of contract after Saturdays game. Thats what worries me about Ryan. He can walk into any 1st division team he wants and we don't get a penny for him.

Re: move on

as long as the club offer him a new contract then if he decides to leave any club signing him must pay a fee. Depending on where he goes it would not be an insignificant sum either!

Re: move on

I have been reading the posts on who people want to keep, and there are some listing 9/10 players. Personally i think we are overdue a wee clear out of players just for the sake of freshening up the squad! Last year we nearly reached the play-offs, and when we managed to tie down some of the key men from that campaign all of us were delighted. However if we look at this year the same shape and same key players have not managed to build upon last years progress. Maybe its time to look toward fresh blood, rather than sticking to what we know and bitching about them underperforming every week

Re: move on

Good point.
Pre season most of us thought we`d win this league given the players we have.
Time for exodus to commence. Clear the decks i say. Get rid of the dead wood.
Keep 5 and move the rest on.

This money will be based on the clubs contribution to the players development as a "youth player", given the short time he's been at Bayview the club will be lucky to get £1000 for him. Even Raith would pay this for him if (when) they lose Baird. That's two weeks wages for Iain Davidson.
