we have one of our biggest matches of the season on saturday. we're back at ibrox on league duty for the first time in forty years. we have a bit of momentum at last after getting our first win on saturday.
i'm disappointed by the lack of excitement and enthusiasm this week. we were a fluke goal away from playing east stirling or annan this week, and instead we are playing rangers.
this forum is very quiet. over on the official website, the main news is about a car boot sale. you have to hunt hard to find any mention that we are playing rangers. what is going on? are we not really bothered about this week's match? we have not seen much encouragement for supporters to get through to glasgow and get behind the team. the players need our support. it is a daunting place to go, much better when there are 400 or 500 fans right behind them.
isn't our chairman a rangers man? he must want as many east fife supporters as possible for a big game like this. where is the rallying cry? How many are going to the game? come on folks, it was an almighty struggle to earn the right to be playing this game. let's get through there and get right behind east fife, win lose or draw!!!!!

Why should there be any more buzz than usual? Just another league game.

Yeah I thought there would be a bit more buzz too, but they are just a two year old team after all.

If anyone missed it in the programme on Saturday's here's an initial piece on the Gers game - http://aftnwebsite.blogspot.ca/2013/08/rangers-v-east-fife-its-been-while-and.html.

Check the blog tomorrow for a follow up piece on our 1973 trip and win there.

Sorry but I dont get a buzz at the thought of sitting in a stadium having to listen to the crap spouted by the knuckle dragger's regarding ancient history.I will be there in the hope of seeing EF take three points and if having to endure 90 mins of sectarian bile is the price so be it.

One of my hates about visiting them are the condescending fanny's saying "enjoy yer day". Like we are so privilidged to visit their ground. The the othe main thing that boils ma p### is the bigoted singing. As Kevin Keegan said "ah will love if we beat them, love it". Mon the Fife

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........
Can't wait, happy to soak up bigoted pish, arrogant comments, cheesy music, over priced half time snacks, crap drive through, lengthy delay getting out of The flee pit car parks all because I am a man of belief, belief that on this occasion we could possibly cause those over paid fanny's problems. And Coisty may have a heart attack, have you seen the size he is getting food must be good at Murray park. Why get up tight about the fuds they are what they are and unless you intend on creating a new political force in uk I doubt you will ever change it so I say let them and their opposite nbers in green crack on slavering push while we enjoy our wee happy existance

Just don't wear the deckchair top!

Our new blog post is up with a look back at East Fife's win at Ibrox in our last league game there. Has photos and everything!

Have a read and spread the word - http://aftnwebsite.blogspot.ca/2013/08/east-fife-looking-to-party-like-its-1973.html.

Last time I went through with scarf and 70s Toffs shirt on all the way there and all the way home (train and Subway) and it was nae bother.

Il be wearing the black and gold with pride, drinking in there clubs.. telling the one`s with no history, to enjoy there day against fife`s finest. Not every week they will play a team of such prestige

An observation from the cup game last season is that there is no point even trying to sing befoe kick off as the music blaring out drowns out any attempts. Better to save it for the 90 minutes during the match.

Give me Berwick or Elgin away any day over a trip to either half of the ugly sisters.

It's no really a buzz mate. Nice try to boost your traffic.

How many of us are going on Saturday? 500/600
