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.

Great Scot - The James Scot Symon Story

Anyone read this book about Scot Symon that came out last year?

Is there much about East Fife in it or is it just all Rangers?

Read it when it came out in the autumn. Unfortunately his period at East Fife was rushed through in only a few pages. Its really about Symon's time at Rangers and perhaps the title is somewhat misleading in that it suggests a full biography which is most certainly isnt.

Check out the author's blog. An absolute masterclass in paranoia.

Re: Great Scot - The James Scot Symon Story

I nearly shat myself with laughter reading Leggat's blogs during the summer. He makes Chucky Green appear balanced and informed.
He epitomises everything that's wrong with the mainstream media in Scotland, although thankfully most fans of all clubs are much more interested in what they read on fan forums and club websites ( both official and unofficial), meaning that the ramblings of tired hacks like Leggat, Traynor and Keevins are pretty much insignificant and irrelevant.
I read Jim Baxter's biography a few years back and it was exactly the same. They couldn't get him out the pit and away from Rovers quick enough, so the Hun love-in could begin.
