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.

It would be nice if we were getting coverage for actually being a decent team rather a pile of sh#te with a crackpot manager
Was an attempted PR spin job.
Edited the rant video to make it look less crazy.
Still no acceptance that he can't get the players to do anything and more jibes about not being a very good team.
dunno of it was a jibe......more a statment of fact IMO
"East Fife havent got a good team this season" - what I find interesting with this quote is Sid Collumbine said in The Courier that the board dont agree with this opinion of Billy Brown and expect the players to be doing better.
Yet BB repeats it again and this time to the nation!
I cant accept that with the likes of: McManus, Muir, Smith, Bobby Barr, Sloan, Stoney, McBride, Willis etc that we should say we havent got a good team.
Fair enough we're not at Queen of the South type level...but we do have better players than the likes of Stranraer, Stenhousemuir etc.
On pie and bovril a Stranraer fan says that the game they played us at Bayview in November was one of the best performances he had seen from any side this season.
The logic is faulty.
Again he doesnt accept any blame. Well how about Brechin a few weeks ago for starters? His tactics had a huge bearing on the result that evening (I was there) as they got in behind our full backs all night as they were too far up the field.
The problem we have is that the board are behind him come what may. I dont think he should be here, for performances on the pitch let alone all this other stuff.
Any protests, booing etc at this stage isnt going to be helpful to the team as we head into relegation playoffs. Therefore I have decided that I will not boo but will support the team with everything I have.
However should we get relegated, I will be making my views to the board in no uncertain terms
