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.

Got to agree with the original post. There's people on here (St Pauli Fifer for instance) who spout opinion after opinion yet dont even go to the games. All they do is criticise.
So can someone please explain the definition of supporter to me?
How the hell can someone call themselves a supporter when they dont go to the matches and all they do is give opinions, generally negative, on an internet forum?
They are just a complete and utter joke

where are the 700+ who voted for East Fife to say no to Sevco/Newco.
i didnt vote and some maybe abroad BUT Saturday 10th Nov(new manger introduced) against Alloa under 500 East fife fans bother to turn up yet so many were angered about how the club should vote, some calling for boycotts and posting videos off Rangers fans crying on tv yet cant be arsed even coming to Bayview.
Next time theres a vote then dont bother if you cant be bothered.[/quo

Interesting that so many people are certain of the final league outcome despite there being over two thirds of the season left!
I guess that these guys constantly make a fortune on the fixed odds with their ability to predict the future.

Maybe I'm an Optimist but...
Our dire performance and result today do not mean we are a bad team any more than our great performance and result against Dunfermline mean we are a brilliant one.
I have sufficient confidence in our management team and the players to forecast as follows:
After 9 league games we will not be in the bottom 2.
After 18 league games we will not be in the bottom 5.
After 27 league games we will will be in the top 4
On the last game of the season we will still have a chance of promotion (unless of course we've already been promoted!)
Feel free to bookmark this post and either congratulate me on my prescience or thoroughly mock me
sorry Eugene

Sigh, here we go again.
Nope, wasn't at the game, thankfully. I won't be back for some time I don't think. Nothing to do with us losing every week (we've lost for the majority of my 25+ years watching East Fife), it's just not East Fife anymore to me. Not a proud wee club to be proud of following. Cowdenbeath and Dumbarton are light years better than us. Match day experience, the 3 walls, the black and blue strips, the Twigg/Rankin shambles, zero communication with fans
That's why I stopped going, even after the Newco stance (could any club seriously have made any other decision?). There no enjoyment going to watch EF anymore - nothing pleasurable at all.
I'm no longer a supporter of East Fife. I can live with that. They will always be my team and if the current board/owners don't kill the club, i'll probably be back after they're gone (if we're not a pub team by then).
Ask yourself why the crowds are so poor?

Good post and one which sums up how quite a lot of East Fife fans feel at the moment. Well said and well put SPF.

It's all about opinions. Strange thing is...We're all entitled to them!
Shame that isn't it?!

Amazingly, your statement also applies to others, who DON'T agree with your opinions??
Shame that, isn't it?
No, it isn't a shame at all. I would have thought that obvious Wullie.
Maybe your confused.

I've not been to Bayview since Albion Rovers played us off the park in the 2.1 defeat. Simply wasn't enjoying it anymore and i have to say i really don't miss it. 13 quid to watch that? Sorry but not for me. Good luck to Billy Brown, he will need it as most of these players are not good enough for Eastvale, nevermind East Fife. Hopefully the board support the manager in Jan transfer window and he can get us out this mess, maybe then, i and many others will return and spend our hardearned cash watching a hardworkin, half decent football team......
Think this about sums up how quite a lot of fans feel.
And i mean quite a lot!
How many is that then?
Ahh Wullie,
you still feeling small?
Jocky's back as Wullie. Class
Calling folk 'son' and saying how we do not necessary have a weaker team than last season.
