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: League Cup 1st Round

Whats with all this seeded and unseeded crap, why cant we just have all the teams in the hat and draw them ffs.

Re: League Cup 1st Round

Hibs away.

Re: League Cup 1st Round

Anyone bar Greenock, Stranraer, Falkirk and Forfar i'll be happy and home tie would be a bonus since we would have three away games on the trot.

MONEY

Re: League Cup 1st Round

1 in 5 chance of big pay day if u think of it that way

Re: League Cup 1st Round

Won't matter if we get a decent pay day, it will be siphoned out of club one way or another.

Re: League Cup 1st Round

If we get any of the top three seeded teams I see us having a pay day but i'll take the rovers or cowden as every east fife fan wants play their rivals more than facing the teams in the city.
Is falkirk a pay day or is that spilt 50/50? Wonderful to have falkirk, hibs/hearts or rangers what a way to start the season.

Re: League Cup 1st Round

I believe the draw is made seeded v unseeded; unseeded v seeded; seeded v unseeded etc so there will be no chance that all seeded clubs get drawn at home

Re: League Cup 1st Round

7. Dumbarton at home for league cup that's who we have. Good or bad?

Or we can get Livingston away and see what side Rankin chooses. We play dumbarton a team his former employees and it be progress for east fife need get past falkirk or Dumbarton first see who we really get we have as much chances to compete in the cups as anybody really. I love a cup shock no had one in ages unless getting past a poor forfar side last season which we beat didn't get upto much so who knows.
Rankin will be wanting the east fife bussiness to boom this is a good start what an odd tie to get dumbarton at home. Kev Smith will be facing his brother Gordon, nice family re-union there for both players also, Kev's delighted but disapointed not to play in the tie how nice.

A poor Forfar side? They finished 3rd 3 points off of Morton in 1st I wish we could even come close to that!

We've played those morons often enough in recent years, frankly I'd rather play Forfar.
