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.

Maybe the Club could look into a Commercial Manager-type role for someone, like we've had in the past (?) Someone with media/communications/marketing expertise. There must be a Fife fan out there.
It's crazy that we didn't even have a compiled 'list' of our Pre-Season fixtures on the site. All Clubs from Junior to SPL get that on ASAP to get as many punters turning up (or planning to turn up around their holidays).
That's quite cool. It's not enough that they've left us in their wake on the pitch.
Shithole stadium though 
Usual over the top comments on this subject.
Such a shame that posters can't keep their criticism constructive as the club have come on in leaps and bounds in terms of their relationship with the fans in recent years, all thanks to the unpaid EFFC supporters who do the (apparently) thankless tasks on behalf of the moaners.
Looking after one of the finest playing surfaces in Scotland
Producing the award winning match day programme
Organising a welcoming match day reception at the stadium for players, officials and fans of both clubs
Providing excellent highlights and post match interviews for the supporters on EFTV
Providing live commentary for visually impaired fans
High quality photograph images of every match on the website
Supporters' trust representative with full voting powers on the Board of Directors
Subsidised transport to away games (eg Kilmarnock)
Directors responding to supporters' concerns re the Newco situation over the summer
How many previous regimes would have facilitated the above? Yes the website could probably be improved, but it is a huge improvement on the previous site. How about some constructive suggestions and perhaps even some offers of assistance?
Let's not get carried away and keep things in perspective.
only thing that bothers me most is that the club dont promote East Fife enough, the new saltire top should be displayed in the East Fife Mail and in sports shops, we should sell ourselves more.
With schools using computers more than ever these days then there's surely someone or someones son/daughter who can help the club with their knowledge and promote us more.
Was Shocked to read about the guy who sponsored stoneys shirt last season then had no feedback at the end of the season regarding re-sponsoring or even a thank you, the commercial side of the club needs improved but credit to all those who help out and work hard for the club

Nobody, as far as I can see, is criticising these things and we are miles away from the dark days of the Brown era in so many areas thank goodness. The club are to be congratulated on all of the strides they have made in recent years. However basic, up to date, information on what is happening at the club still leaves much to be desired. As kenwit says, the club does not sell itself very well and the fact remains that for a senior football club, we have a very low profile and could do being so much more to raise our profile across Levenmouth, Glenrothes, the East Neuk, Cupar etc, etc.
Keeping people informed about the day to day going ons is part of this and keeps folk interested in the club. We live in a fast news and social networking world and we need to raise our game considerably in these areas in order to attract new younger fans as well as keeping old soaks such as myself on board.
Shithole stadium though
