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.

I won't be at any Newco game home or away! Too stubborn to pay £17 for 3rd tier fitbaw. Good luck to the Fife aw the same. 
Phoned the club after 12 but weren't on-sale, just worried about getting my tickets as I can't come through to pick them up and stay in glasgow and I hope if I pay with credit card they will arrive for me before saturday to go to ibrox via by post. I will phone the club tomorrow, gutted to wait another day for our end on our last vist to Govan with 5days to go. #monTheFife
Well KP I waited several days for someone to draw attention to my typo and you didn't let me down.
My fisrt mistake of 2014!
You're a cop-out. Supporting your team isn't about your feelings about Rangers. Try and grow a pair and get behind East Fife. The team needs you.
No they don't. The away support at Ibrox is a tiny area of the stadium, tucked away in a corner. Fans are drowned out by the blaring tannoy music until kick off, after which all you will hear are songs being sang about murdering catholics.
Being one of the most expensive, and certainly least important (in terms of the impact your support will have) trips, combined with the fact that the vast majority of ordinary fans don't have the luxury of being able to afford to go to every single away game, is it really a surprise that supporters would rather keep their money for, say, the trip to Stranraer where their support can really make a big impact on the match (as it has done in the past there).
My mistake though, as these fans who have followed East Fife up and down the country for decades, long before the newco ever existed, are all "cop outs" and "need to grow a pair" (even if they are female

) another cop-out. no one should be withholding their backing for the players just because of who they are playing against. it should be the opposite, show them your support even if they can't hear you. don't kid yourself that the players won't notice if no-one cares enough to be there. whatever your grudges with rangers, try putting them to one side for 90 minutes and put east fife first instead. the players fought to the death last season for the right to play in this league. let's do our bit for THEM and forget about another club's issues.
or at Ibrox?
Does anyone know? I'm undecided on going at the moment.
My fisrt mistake of 2014!
do I get a prize?
Onybody got any recommendations for a pre match pub?
there is no pubs within range of ibrox, willing to let an east fife fan in for a pint. If you want a jar stay in centre of town. Still plenty zombies about like but at least the pubs let you in .
I have to challenge you there, I distinctly remember not being let into one of they swanky city centre pubs on the way back from Stranrear for the crime of being dressed as Mr Oink from Reservoir Dogs and being in the company of a four foot bumble bee.

ha ha Markos! The crime was more along the lines of you being unable to string a sentence together and your inability to successfully walk up stairs! And, the bumble bee was, and still is 5ft 5!
