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.

Forfar Away = worst draw ever

As it says.

Re: Forfar Away = worst draw ever

Fat Doug
As it says.


I agree, that will be 6 times we play them this season and it may even go to a replay.Unexciting draw for the players and fans!

Re: Forfar Away = worst draw ever

Agree. Can't think of a worse draw.

Re: Forfar Away = worst draw ever

No wonder crowds at Scottish football are dwindling ! Surely it wouldn't take a genius at the SFA to seed the draw at this stage to avoid clubs in the same Division from being drawn against each other. 5 of the 16 ties have paired teams from the same League against each other. Players and fans alike are fed up of playing the same teams over and over again. We could end up facing Forfar 7 times if the Cup game is a draw and goes to a replay - boring !!!

Re: Forfar Away = worst draw ever

Agree BBoy... Terrible draw.. Just terrible!... Was really looking forward to a quality away day and alas its just more of the same... Defo not Spice Aye Life!

Re: Forfar Away = worst draw ever

Shit draw. Teams from same league should be separated until later stage.

Re: Forfar Away = worst draw ever

In Germany Bundesliga clubs and the top second tier clubs are always drawn against teams from lower down in the 1st round. The lower ranked teams then play the bigger boys at home regardless of who came out the hat first (subject to stadium criteria etc).

Shouldn't take much imagination to do something similar here would it or as people are saying at least ensure teams from the same division don't face each other for a couple of rounds?

Then again given the jerks and vested interests that run Scottish football that would be too much to ask I guess.

Re: Forfar Away = worst draw ever

the scottish game in a whole,is starting to bore me,
