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.

Elgin game is OFF folks!!

Our match versus Elgin City scheduled for Saturday 3rd January 2015 has been postponed due to waterlogged pitch. Must be pretty bad up north this week and am sure they had to call off their homes games with shire and berwick recently before with a waterlogged pitch
Oh well it will give us a few days to sort our own mess and extra days for Gary and the boys to sort the team out.

Re: Elgin game is OFF folks!!

A call-off is never great at this level, it means a re-arranged midweek fixture and an unappealing trek for fans.

Did the clubs ever consider reversing the fixture to Methil? Did the clubs consider waiting until Sunday and giving the pitch an extra day to drain?

At this time, lower league clubs should really be fighting for every fan, these two clubs seem to have given up meekly. Enjoy your weekend scouting, Gary.

Re: Elgin game is OFF folks!!

Another week longer with Naysmith.
The end is nigh!

Re: Elgin game is OFF folks!!

If we had reversed the fixture our last 3 games of the season would have been Annan, Berwick & Elgin ALL AWAY from home!

S.P.F.L. - Still Putting Fans Last

Re: Elgin game is OFF folks!!

Perhaps the consequences would be three away games in a row, but this would merely be rectifying a previous imbalance. The bigger concern is whether the question was asked at all, because on many occasions, it seems that no one is willing to do anything different at this level. Clubs like East Fife and Elgin sleepwalk to their deaths because they do things how they've always done things for the previous decades.

East Fife are a club who have one of the most inhospitable stadiums in the country yet they are happy to play winter football. How many potential fans think "I'm not going down there to pay to be chilled to the bone watching that"? They should be the loudest voice in support of summer football. This is not a debate about summer football but I'm more concerned that East Fife have never shown any signs of trying to be different or to promote change.

Give it a fucking rest!
