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

Ramsden's Cup 2nd Round Draw

I understand that Ramsden's Cup 2nd round draw will take place on Monday.
Does anyone know if the 2nd round is regionalised, and if so, will Newco be placed in the East section, given that they are replacements for Dundee?

Re: Ramsden's Cup 2nd Round Draw

The Competition shall be contested by the clubs in the First, Second and Third Divisions in the current season.

The ballot for the First Round shall be made in two regional sections and so arranged that a combination of ties and byes will produce sixteen clubs to compete in the Second Round (i.e. 14 Ties and 2 Byes). The clubs will be balloted in pairs and these clubs will play a single tie on the ground of the first club named. The fourteen winning clubs will qualify to play in the Second Round.

For the Second Round, the fourteen winning clubs from the First Round and the two clubs which received a bye in the First Round shall be inserted into a ballot and drawn in pairs. The clubs will play a single tie on the ground of the club first named and the eight winning clubs will qualify to play in the Third Round. This procedure will be repeated in the Third and Semi-Final Rounds until two clubs qualify for the Final Tie.

In all rounds, including the Semi-Final and Final Rounds, if a match is drawn at the end of ninety minutes, an extra thirty minutes will be played, and if still undecided, the winner shall be determined by the taking of kicks from the penalty mark in accordance with the Rules laid down by the International Board.

I saw that on SFL website, but it is 2 years out of date. Instead of having byes in round 1, they invite 2 Highland league clubs to make it 8 ties in each region, and no byes.
