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.

With the weather we are having we are always susceptible to the sudden downpour but I fully expect tonight's game to go ahead as planned at 7 30pm. 
I Can't make the game sadly but will be there on saturday. Does anyone know what the line-up is for tonight's game??
Hope Samuel gets a game against his former side after scoring on saturday, see what he can offer 
And the downpour has arrived.
Is the game still ok?
will Gregory Tade be playing tonight
How many colored players have we had in our history? I can only think of the one..
Michael Brown, David White, er, Angus Plumb?
Finished 4-0
Shagger apparently has a knee injury?
Haven`t seen Alex Munro play so I`ll hopefully have a butchers at him on Saturday.
I thought the wee guy King was absolutely outstanding last night.
The scoreline didn't really flatter Saints but you have to remember they're playing in Europe next week while this was our first pre-season game.
Overall, it was a really enjoyable friendly.
I think Malcolm could be good for us with a few games under his belt.
I think some people are overreacting a bit to much! We got beat 4-0 by a better than average SPL side who have been back training for a number of weeks now due to playing in EUROPEAN competition!
Okay some of the goals were a bit sloppy but would you not rather these mistakes were made now rather than Alloa 1st game of the season? I thought there was a lot of positives from the game, despite the result! Williamson and King both standing out and would be welcome additions to the squad. Didn't get to see much of Colin Samuel but again, based on his performances last season he could certainly do a job once fully match fit! Bob Malcolm didn't look particularly comfortable at centre half and would maybe be best suited in midfield where his previous experience of playing in bigger games would show. AS for the full backs, I can't think of anyone in the league better than Durie and will obviously improve as pre-season progresses, the left full back fair enough we may need to strengthen but only until Cook is given a full preseason.
Remember it's all about fitness at this stage.
Bring on Hibs
Heard a wee rumour when i overheard a guys convo couple rows behind me that the Preston game is off and we are now playing Hibs, anyone thow if thats the case?[/quote
It wasn't just a rumour - it was announced at the game but maybe you missed it.
You're quite correct, the game on Saturday is now against Hibs. Still at Bayview and still a 14.00 kick-off (note!).
We also announced the change on the website, our facebook page and on aftn as soon as it was confirmed last night.
Hope this helps.
The fans have absolutely no idea about using social media to find out the news about East Fife.

i agree about the goals and what the game meant in terms of fitness but i think whats more annoying(to most on here) is that these were the type of goals that cost us a lot of points last season.
Most opposition teams will know that when they get a corner then just land it in the 6 yard box as its a disaster waiting to happen, near post man usually misses it, tallest defender is usually out-jumped and the keeper wont come and claim it.
Would love to see our 'goals against' greatly reduced from previous seasons.
if we sign Williamson and King ,add a forward then (prediction time!!!) easily top 4 this season
