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.

Re question 3, Quantify how this would make us financially secure? Are the newco going to bribe the clubs to secure their votes?
Don't like that question at all. 
Just a wee update.
Thanks to everyone who has participated so far.
We've had over 150 responses and I'll provide the detailed results once the survey closes on Monday.
Some people are expressing concern about question 3. The reason for the question was to get a sense of how fans might react to a reorganisation which could include the newco but which might also bring financial benefits. The responses so far do not indicate unanimous rejection of this hypothesis.
The next update will be on Monday afternoon when the survey closes i.e. after 16.00.
PS Don't shoot the messenger!

Are messengers not there just to be shot though?
Question 3 is a worry to me too! I hope the board listen to the fans. If I get the slightest wiff of our board woting for a newco, then I'll no be a happy bunny. What the board must ask themselves is whether they want to try call the fans bluff or not. Those who say they'll not be back probably do mean it. Is that a chance they're willing to take?
Anyhoo, thanks for they survey Clarkie. Lets hope that the club has the balls to say NO TO NEWCO.

It's a bit ambiguous though. Becoming financially secure could mean 'we'd go bust without this' or it could mean 'a wee bit extra cash for the next two years'. I assume people are worried that it's the latter that's the case but "financial security" will be used as an excuse to vote in Newco.

Still find that it's a very loaded question based on no certainty of financial security.
Scottish football is at a crossroads here. It needs to be seen to be playing fair and show that it has some shred of integrity and dignity left (I include the football authorities in this and the clubs in the SFL). It will be shameful if it acts in narrow self interest just to appease the old regime, Sky TV and the bigots and charlatans in the west coast media.
No I won't be back at Bayview if a newco starts in division 1. I feel that strongly.
You said it better than I could!!

Agree!!
If Rangers are not put into the 3rd division i am also done with scottish football.
According to Sky Sports news Rangers will be playing in Div 1 next season. Absolute scandal if this is the case. What`s the point in supporting your local team our club can`t even vote on the matter. No wonder people are saying they won`t be going back to Bayview! Compensation coming our way surely????
If East Fife were Buddhists Rovers would be God.
