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.

Rankine can save skint club
'Majority shareholder Rankine has brought in veterans Gordon McDougall, Derrick Brown, Robert Wilson and former Livi Chief Bill Hunter to aid the salvage operation.'
Rankine 61 admitted "Were picking up £1.75 million worth of debt to save a club with no assets, apart from 3 players and a bad lease on the stadium. That's why us dinosaurs have got involved. Gordon McDougall was 18 years at Cowdenbeath, Robert Wilson had 12 at Berwick. Derrick Brown went into East Fife when they were £280,000 in the red and left then £150,000 in the black."
