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.

I thought a draw was about right. Good game in which both teams had spells when they were on top played in difficult conditions. Craig Johnstone had his best game yet for East Fife. We've come a long way under Billy Brown, hats off to him for turning the team around. 
Good result against a good side at a difficult venue (a lot of the players don't like the astro !) great goal from us with a sweeping move finishing with an inch perfect cross from Samuel and a good volley from McManus. The Alloa goal came from an unchallenged header, although it looked as though the player marking him (McCormack ?) either slipped or was pushed out the way. Both teams had chances in the second half but a draw was probably a fair reflection on the game.
I thought Stoney had a really good game at left back after his 2 match suspension and Stevie Campbell did very well in an unaccustomed central midfield role. With a few more games together I'm sure Samuel and McManus will prove to be an excellent strike partnership and start banging the goals in. The next two games - Ayr Utd (home) and Stanraer (away) will have a big say in whether we are involved in fighting for a play off place at the top or trying to keep our heads above the relegation play off place.
Last week and this week has shown there is nothing for us to fear in the League and that we can compete with teams above us. Hopefully confidence will be high and we can pick up 6 points out of 6 and put pressure on the teams above us. C'mon the Fife !
