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.

GORDON Brown’s favourite football team are turned into zombies in a new movie.
Wraith Rovers tells the story of a zombie team, aptly named The Undead Eleven, who manage to triumph in the face of adversity.
The madcap movie, shot in mockumentary style, is the brainchild of award-winning producers Bob ­Carruthers and Dave McWhinnie and is said to be a cross between Spinal Tap and Shaun of the Dead.
And Raith Rovers fans prepared to donate £500 towards production costs will get the chance to star in the flick.
A source said: “The aim is to put a bit of fun back into ­Scottish football. It’s taking the mickey out of the Scottish game and the zombie movie genre.
“With the demise of Rangers and all the problems dominating ­Scottish football, it just seems like the right time to do it.”
As well as zombie players, the film features a manager who suffers from Tourette’s syndrome combined with a fondness for spoonerisms.
Professional actors and comics have been cast in the lead roles but several supporting ­characters will be open to members of the public with the cash to spare.
The £500 contribution would also get you a mention in the credits as an associate producer.
Some of the roles open to the public include a man-eating brown bear, a headless zombie centre half, Emperor Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm the Second and the ghosts of Jim Baxter, Stanley Matthews and George Best.
As if the cast list wasn’t rich enough already, Count Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, a referee and linesman and a “Cowdendeath” player also feature.
The source added: “It’s semi-scripted, semi-improvised and has a mock documentary style.
“Hopefully the people of ­Kirkcaldy will turn out and feature in the crowd scenes. And for those who are willing to spend a bit of money, there’s the chance to play a part in the film.”
Producer Bob is originally from the Fife town.
It’s believed to have been Bob’s decision to shoot the new movie in his home town.
Permission has been granted by Raith Rovers to film at Stark’s Park.
Last night, a spokesman for Raith Rovers said: “We’ve been dealing with Bob Carruthers, one of the filmmakers, and he’ll be down here filming all around the stadium soon.
“It should be a bit of fun, although we are in no way involved with the ­production.”
●Fans interested in taking part must be aged 18 or over and be available in the first two weeks of September. Contact the crew at www.wraithrovers.com
