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.

Read in a local newspaper in Glasgow that Partick Thistle are running the rule over former livi midfielder Bobby Barr, the Jags have invited the 24 year old to Firhill for training to assess the former lions kid who is currently playing for second division side East Fife. So i doubt we will keep hold onto the kid next season as clubs are waiting to sign him at the end of the season
hope its no true, hes our Ivan Sproule at Bayview.
In the first place why anyone would need a trial to play for Partick Thistle is a bit weird. Surely they would have seen him play games for us and Livi so would know what he can do. We used to let players go and have trials for big clubs, proper big clubs like Spurs and Liverpool which is fair enough, but Partick Thistle?
If he got injured in these trials and missed the crucial upcoming games then we would have looked pretty stupid. They should have been told to get lost frankly but nothing East Fife's hierarchy does these days surprises me.
Or can Bobby Barr just do as he pleases?
I spoke to barr about the fact we could be playing rangers next season at bayview after one of our games at home and he said he wasnt realising the prospect of playing the sveco if we stay up and that he waiting to see his options. so he must want another challenge at a higher level and partick could be playing SPL football next year but i doubt he can cut it there with his performance now dipped in recent moneths with us
or i think he wants to stay local as he is from glasgow and partick can offer him a challenge in the SPL maybe thats what he is thinking.
