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.

Re: Well done the board

You will never stop Rangers fans infiltrating the home end, it has happened at every game they have played over the last two seasons but there is no point in having a go at the board when we ourselves have invited them in!

Agreed and we need to move with with the club and lose this critical attitude which has been a part of our fans history since, well, Clarkes time as I remember. If we continue with this investment and work by the club then things will improve greatly on the field I'm sure.
Bob I am one of the ones that have been moaning and have had a few e mails to and fro with Lee.My main concern is that a quick buck should never take priority over the safety and comfort of EF fans.I appreciate all that Lee and the board have done in theses last few months but Saturday could have turned real nasty as there was not only Block sales to Rangers fans but I also felt the calibre of stewarding at the game was terrible.


Hi Bob. I know you were critical. There is a difference between moaning and criticising. You were right to criticise, as the number of Gers fans in the home end was too much.

I was not specifically meaning the gers game, I was meaning "in general"

It just seems that every week, win lose or draw that some fans can never be happy. This is a new beginning, a change in fortunes that has come so unexpected and we must surely appreciate the cash thats going into the club. The moaners are angry for whats happening on the pitch, how do you think the people who are injecting the "big" money feel?? I think we should be less ready to jump in and criticise in this transition period and not expect too much too soon. I'm sure the powers that be have a long term plan but it's also up to us to help as much as we can. Some more will buy ST, some will come back and watch who haven't been for some time, more sponsorship from fans will come in from the fans who can afford it and the fans who can't dig deep will support just the same by going to the games and shouting the team on as well. We are all together in this and we all want the same. It's support we need and not just vocally but more in numbers. That's what lee and all of us I'm sure would love to see.

How difficult is that?? Very if you see that Hamilton Accies had barely a thousand a few weeks ago, and they are top of the championship.

I could go on but I'm sure you're all bored by now. ONWARDSANDUPWARDSMONTHEFIFE.

I know I will get the usual pelters from some that I'm mega positive follow like sheep, never moan but heyho!

Re: Well done the board

:endo (cumbuslang fifer), you make a point of travelling from glasgow but i seen you in leven last thursday?? Stop the act and get a grip, quit the moaning too you never hear a peep out you face to face.. Keyboard gangster

Re: Well done the board

As far as I am concerned the board had nowt to do with selling tickets to away fans the board are doing a great job it is great to see good players wanting to play for us and the future is looking good well done Lee

Statement re Rangers Match



The Board met tonight (Tues 29 Oct) to analyse our preparation for the recent match and review the actual events on the day so that we can identify ways of doing it better for similar future matches.



We are grateful to the many fans who gave us feedback either in person or through social media and our discussions covered issues such as ticketing arrangements, stewarding, hospitality and the many other topics that were raised.



We have agreed that a small working group from the board will look in detail at the issues and possible solutions and will also take soundings from other parties such as the police and the SPFL. The group will then report back to the full Board for final decisions.



This will take some time so it may be a few weeks before we can provide any details but rest assured we’ll make sure our supporters are informed as soon as the details are settled.
