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.

GoF

Re: Rangers Match Tickets: Some Q n A

Please watch the concession gates,
If it is £8 as stated,this may lead to misuse by home and away supporters.
Have banged on about this before but nothing seems to be done,
Put on a steward at these gates /or someone from the club and just see who are entering illegally.

Re: Rangers Match Tickets: Some Q n A Additions

Soory but I missed out a line in my original post about prices. I've also added an explanation of postage costs.


What about postage costs?


We strongly recommend using special recorded delivery (£1.65 extra) as any tickets that go missing cannot be replaced. If a supporter chooses normal post and the tickets go missing we cannot replace them



How much are the tickets?

Home tickets are £18.00 with £15 for adult concession and £8 for child concessions. Remember season ticket holders have already paid for theirs. They won’t have to pay for their actual matchday ticket.

Re: Rangers Match Tickets: Some Q n A Additions

Are the club going to state 'any Rangers fans in the EF stand will be ejected from the ground'? We all know the type of supporter they attract,and if any of them are sitting near me and start slagging off my team,or any of the bile that they call songs starts,I will not be quiet about it. This has the potential to have a nasty atmosphere,and not the party carnival that EF want.

I only see insults going in the direction of the opposition fans on this forum so far. If you and others keep it up, will anybody be surprised if the opposition fans take exception to these comments and go to the game thinking all us EF fans are spoiling for a fight?

Nae need for the insults to their supporters. Was there any hassle at Ibrox, where any EF supporters felt threatened? I was there (wearing EF colours) and didn't feel threatened in the slightest.

Re: Rangers Match Tickets: Some Q n A Additions

Unfortunately I was not in a position to purchase a season ticket and now feel aggrieved I am to be penalised because of my financial standing. I do attend all home games and would ask the board to review the pricing for loyal supporters like myself. I cannot say I am happy sitting in the stand paying 27% more than the next man. In fact I will choose not to attend as a point of principle.

Rangers Match Tickets: Some Answers



My pal’s a Rangers supporter. Can he buy tickets from East Fife?
No. Away supporters can only buy tickets from Rangers.



And time to get new pals.

Re: Rangers Match Tickets: Some Q n A Additions

Think it's great the board have put temporary stands in to accommodate all the local gloryhunters, pity it's only for 2 games and we Fife fans won't get to use it. I'm shocked about the price increase tho! £18? it's a normal league game against a team that happens to have a huge support yet I'm expected to pay an extra £5 to get in? I'm struggling to afford to go to games as it is so cheers for that.

Re: Rangers Match Tickets: Some Q n A Additions

Can't believe our own fans moan about the club trying to make a bit extra revenue from this match - if u don't go fine, plenty others will buy tickets

Plenty others will buy tickets? Aye, Newco fans!! If we were getting to use the temporary standing area then I wouldn't mind paying extra to cover costs but I'm not so why should a pay extra?

Re: Rangers Match Tickets: Some Q n A Additions

Extra policing,stewarding, gate people (obviously will have to build temporary entrance gates) same for pie stands.Costs of safety certificates, building stands and terracing are just a few of the additional costs that mean an increase in ticket prices. Personally i cant see how the club will make a fortune from these two games. Only hope is we get promoted through the play offs and we can use the temporary stands again next season

Re: Rangers Match Tickets: Some Q n A Additions

I'd have liked to have seen a loyalty scheme for non st holders.
How about supportersclub members getting a ticket at standard prices

Or even a two game package for Ayr on Sat and Newco for 25 quid.
Maybe get more bums on seats for Saturday.

Re: Rangers Match Tickets: Some Q n A Additions

£18 is a bargain. Where else could you be within touching distance of so may soccer millionaires for £18.... apart from Barcalona, Bayern Munich,Real Madrid etc etc...the Pars?

My Q is how much are the away fans getting charged. I would have liked us to charge them a straight £20 for the main stand away section and the same price at away fans are charged at Ibrox for the new stand terracing. Oh and please put 1000watts of amps either side of them with Telstar on loop to make them feel as welcome as we were at Ibrox.
Perhaps I'm being harsh as Ally will be feeling the pinch when he drops to 8 grand a week and Nicky Law is living off leftovers on 4grand a week.Can I suggest a meter on the showers and leccky in the away dressing room though?



Cheers
