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: Artificial pitch

Thanks for clearing that up Eugene. A 'simple' error on my part, clearly all the empirical evidence has been carefully considered and such 'simple' surveys should be ignored.
The trials suggested by the PFA seem to make sense to me not least to inform decisions about players potential injury risk.


My pleasure Tom. I can also assist with inferential logic

It's pretty obvious that current players will favour grass as by and large that's what they will have grown up with.
One needs to he careful when interpreting simple surveys.


WTF do you know about playing football, or about anything else for that matter? You have plenty to say but little to offer.

Re: Artificial pitch

Actually you should read the comments from the Hamilton chairman. Why should his pitch be subjected to rigorous test such as height of ball bounce, how far the ball rolls of a chute etc, has anyone tried that at Cliftonhill?
From I can see the complaints are about pitches that don't have shock pads installed, guess what, the proposed pitch at Bayview will have one! Shockeroony!

Apparently artificial pitches may cause cancer
