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.

Calling Twitter Users

Hi Folks,

I took over running the club's Twitter account a few weeks ago and I'm looking at ways to improve it for the coming season.

I'm looking to get a team of people together who might be willing to help with match day updates. You wouldn't have to do it every week but hopefully if enough people volunteer then between us we can make sure that the official account is always able to be updated with goals and incidents during matches.

If you want to find out exactly what would be involved could you drop me an email to eastfifetwitter@gmail.com

Cheers

Re: Calling Twitter Users

Great effort. I've not bought a programme in years, I assume the twitter account gets a mention? Based on the improvements I've seen it's a great way for folk, especially not living in Levenmouth, to keep up so should get a decent shout out in the programme.

Good luck to you.

Re: Calling Twitter Users

Sounds good. This is just what we need, more communication from the club and about the club. I've never used Twitter myself, except for following the game at Peterheid on their one. Would welcome a more EF tinted view.

Could you extend things to off-field matters as well? There's an affy clamour for information about player signings just now, and the club appears to have taken part in a vote to disband the Scottish League last week. Not sure if you're well enough connected for that, but quite sure there's people wanting to know.

A couple of times I've tried to post from my phone to AFTN from Bayview, but found there was no internet reception unless you go out to the pie-stand side. You might want to do your own assessment, maybe other networks are different, or maybe the club has wifi they could let your volunteers use.

Best of luck with this.

Re: Calling Twitter Users

I don't really have any insights in to off field matters other than getting a heads up when something goes on the official website. I'm just a fan who was annoyed at how poorly the club was using twitter so offered to try and improve it a bit. I'd like nothing better than someone more in the know to take it on but until that time I'll do what I can.

Still no volunteers for this by the way ;-)

You have email

Re: Calling Twitter Users

Very pleased to read this.

If there's one thing that sports teams know how to do over here it's to fully utilise social media. Some great twitter spats between some clubs.

We were thinking of getting the AFTN up and running more to do this, so we don't have to now, but happy to help out any way I can from being so far away from it all

Re: Calling Twitter Users

Bump!

Re: Calling Twitter Users

I'm constantly on twitter and update the scores on my account so if any help was needed I would give a hand. @sirscottyoung is my account just fire a message if needs be.
