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.

Very enjoyable night that will be even bigger & better next year. No one I spoke to was downbeat about the night
This. ^^
Hi all I thought I would just put my bit on here as well.
After receiving many texts and a few calls yesterday and now being (almost) fully sober I thought I would let people hear the other side of the coin. Having known young Zak for many years I have every respect for his opinion on the night, however, as another poster has said I do beleive he may be in the minority as over 90% of the people I have spoken to both on the night and as I say yesterday have congratulated the sc and the club on an excellent evening. Yes I do understand people were annoyed at how long the auction went on for and I fully agree as I was one of them, and yes I may be biased here (with my wife organising the food side) but to say the meal was terrible I think is a little unjustified, maybe not everyones cup of tea, but a little harsh which could also be damaging for the business she is part of with comments like that!
As for the players I thought they were excellent as they were told they only had to stay until the trophys were presented but opted to stay a long while after due to them enjoying this so much how many previous poty do's have we attended where players all sat together them left at the earliest oppertunity.
I know for a fact that a someone at the event actually recd a personal message from one of the players who sat at there table thanking them for such good company and an enjoyable evening..........WHEN has that EVER happened before.
So yes some negative comments which will be taken on board and we can learn from BUT I personnaly think many more positive comments have come out of this but as someone else has said EVERYONE is entitled to there own opinion.
Again from the supporters club I would like to thank EVERYONE who attended the event.
Thanks c'mon the Fife for wed!!
That's all very well Paul(mini) but it doesn't explain the differences between what we were told we would get in the email from the supporters club and what we got on the night
Second helpings nice reply you have failed to acknowledge ANY of the positives from the evening and therefore looked to be one of the VERY few who just wanted to blatantly shoot the evening down in flames.
I do agree with what was posted to members may have varied however with time constraints on the night and costs involved a two course was felt better (if you are complaining about £50 u would have flipped had 3 course been put on! Lol) also as the event was meant to be held on the park it was decided that a champagne reception should be provided on the way out the tunnel to a red carpet for effect for obvious reasons this was not held on the park as u may have noticed, but you will have to take that point up with the team as to why this was not the case. This was in place of the wine on the table but I can assure you cost just as much!!
What you have failed to mention was that also in said email we state that David tanner and possibly another celebrity would be there so to have a further 2 does that mean you are complaining about the EXTRA things as well???
As I read on many posts on here you cannot please everyone every time and I am sorry for that but honestly if you wish to have an input into any event of that size in the future PLEASE come to the sc AGM next Thursday and get yourself onboard as the effort, time and stress to put something that size on is incredible things were changing right up to 6pm on Saturday night so if few things were not what you read on an email a few months ago then sorry from me or introduce yourself and I will apologise in person if it makes you feel better.

That is one of the points I made about the speakers dragging on, we could have done without the extra 2 and had a bit more of the band for dancing to.

I completely agree on this point
This is AFTN man... remember? The anti-East Fife forum as it has become over the last few years. No reflection on the actual site itself, purely down to the internet trolls that have hi-jacked it.
