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

You would think Mr Controller would actually pay for all our tickets seeing that he still has the Elgin winnings from 3 seasons ago.

That hardly even covered half the cost of the East Coast (Bastards!)Berwick fiasco. £176 if my memory serves me right.

Is Faredodger going to try and re-enact the free Elgin trip which game him the nickname?

Re: BURGER Trip to Elgin 3/11/12

It was my first trip with the Burger Boys when the Fare Dodger did his thing.

He was almost caught out at Dundee when we changed trains, on the way home only non check of the actual tickets saved his hide.

The ticket collector never counted the tickets he just assummed he had one for each of us.

Wish I could join you lot on this trip, but it is not to be, hopefully I will manage over for next season's games.

Thanks, I looked at that but due to the strange sytem they have, 2 x £15.10 singles without the 1/3 off is cheaper.If you go through the promotional link it doesn't display the £15.10 fares so your 1/3 discount is off £46 I think!!

The £19 advance members fare is best.

Why didn'y you say earlier, I'd have chartered a train for us, it would save on the changeovers and ticket organisation. Next time then, and we must get that boat organised for the next Arbroath trip.

Re: BURGER Trip to Elgin 3/11/12

What a fucking disaster, one of the worst away trips ever, results wise anyway. Only the 2nd time ever I + 12 others left with 15 minutes to go, what a piece of crap! Would love to hear what the board have planned now because that was utter crap.
Yet again, why no investment of the Rangers money, or are we not alowwed to ask about that!.

If this continues then the crowds at Bayview will dwindle ever more
