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: Bus to Forfar

Like I have stated before the 3 Pound fare is a bargain, so what if the bus is being paid for by the club.
Zak & Becky have to spend alot of their own time to get this trip organized.
No wonder Scots are branded as being CHEAP in certain parts of the world, when people are crying out for having to pay 3 pounds for a roundtrip of approx. 80 miles.
One thing I want to make clear if Zak & Becky were overcharging for the bus I would speak out against their overcharge.
The bottom line is nae body is holding a gun tae yer heid tae go on the Bus.
Nuff said.

Will there be more than one bus going (if needed)? I`ve had a text saying that the bus is free but some others are saying it`s not.


As I said above I don't know what we will charge yet but the bus won't be free. As I said we need to know how many people want to go before we decide as it depends on how many buses we take.


Kenny, the club are saying the bus is FREE. I know you run the bus and do it very well but it wouldn`t be fair on folk that are going that normally can`t afford to go, to turn up and have to pay when they initially thought it was free.

where does it say it free,and they just cant turn up either and expect to get on.

Re: Bus to Forfar

It's only £3 ffs, bargain! The money made can help pay for the longer journeys.

Re: Bus to Forfar

Ffs I can't believe this thread... For Years Kenny and Becky have sacrificed their personal time to organise the 1938 bus. If there is a small charge there is a small charge.. It all goes to securing future bus trips to away games especially if future buses run a loss. Stop yer winging and if its 3 quid so beit. Keep up the good work K & B ots appreciated!...ps Kenny can Jim, JT and i get the front seat along with NTOC too as steamers hanging out of windows sounds mental... Cannae wait to hing Auld Davie oot by his ankles!

Re: Bus to Forfar

The bus to Forfar is now FULL, a big thanks to everyone(70 FANS) who do not mind paying £3.00. I am sure we will have a great day.

Mr Brightside as there is such a great demand for the upstairs front seats on the bus we have put the names into a draw and you are one of the lucky winners, you will be sitting next to Zander. Enjoy your trip

Re: Bus to Forfar

Going on the bus to away games is brilliant and a great way to spend a Saturday football day. The good friends I have made over the years, the great laughs even after a loss. Sing songs, raffles, even cake making competitions. More fans should try it rather than the car, I know 4 in a car may be less cost but the bus is the bees knees. Really peeved missing big bus to Forfar as atmosphere will be great.

Mr Brightside, don`t want to rain on your parade but i`ve heard that the reigning Bring a Dish champion will be making an appearance on the bus, fully equipped with egg sandwiches and photo`s of his holidays abroad this year.

Re: Bus to Forfar

Dear Mr Brightside, I know where you live!!! It seems to have slipped your mind that I will not be going to Forfar but will instead be taking my lovely wife to a performance of the Nutcracker Suite on Saturday evening.

Oh c`mon!!! Totally unfair!! I want beside the casuals upstairs with Godfather Duthie.

Re: Bus to Forfar

Got a message from Sky TV this morning and they are doing a Hardest Away Days - EFFC Revisited on Saturday. It's going to be f*****g wild upstairs.
Ginger Beer and Werthers Originals are being sneaked on the bus. Music will feature Dexy's biggest hit, Mr Brightside will be bringing along smash hits from Bollywood and Auld Dave is lending me his WW2 hits by Vera Lynn.

There could be more trouble if Tam is not allowed upstairs as he is bringing along his collection of fruit and vegetables which he has carved to look like genitals.

Come and have a Werthers if you think your hard enough !!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Bus to Forfar

The only reason I am no going on the bus is I live over 5,000 miles frae
Leven Shorehead.

Just to make a point I have travelled a few times on the bus, also travelled with The Burger Boys & Girl on the train to various away games.

Next year all going well I hope to travel on both modes of transportation to an away game or two.

Re: Bus to Forfar

Easy seen you don't run the bus or go to places like Stranraer. The bus is there for all away games not just the ones that you think should be free. Maybe if you were to go on the bus, along with the others who never go, then the bus would be free
