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.

GOF have you given in to DAVE MARSHALL!!!

Well I never I thought you would have sood your ground!!!

Re: GOF have you given in to DAVE MARSHALL!!!

Nah, not really.

The photo was always getting changed today anyway once I had protest photos (wanted it like the banner from the August protests).

Thinks it's more dramatic and sums up the fight anyway.

I also like to keep my part of a deal.

As I think someone's already said, sometimes you have to negotiate to move forward.

Re: GOF have you given in to DAVE MARSHALL!!!

So what was the deal?. You have stood your ground before so!!!!!!!

Re: GOF have you given in to DAVE MARSHALL!!!

Davie Marshall making deals!

Of course he is always one to keep his word, isn't he?

Re: GOF have you given in to DAVE MARSHALL!!!

Well I think it was GOF and DAVE that was maing the deal?. Gof can you confirm who was making what???.

Re: GOF have you given in to DAVE MARSHALL!!!

Ok, before anyone reads too much into this, when DM came out to talk to us at the reception area he kept going back to the Moffat photo and the Trust newsletter in December.

But the protests aren't about the Trust or me or AFTN.

He saw things like that as a stumbling block because he feels things become a bit too personal at times and the fans want support from him without them giving him support back.

So if something as trivial as a photo on a fans website was a stumbling block for DM to go and represent the fans and the fans' views at boardroom level I said fine, the photo would be gone.

So it is and it honestly was going anyway.

Now if Dave is true to his word he will be getting our views across to the rest of the board.

We'll not know, but saw it only right to remove any small stumbling block that I could to help the greater good.

Personally I thought our Christmas pic was way worse, but hey, each to their own.

Re: GOF have you given in to DAVE MARSHALL!!!

oh and this was in front of everyone too, so it wasn't a closed door thing!

He also confirmed that he backed the Trust's application to buy shares.

At the moment he is the only communication we have between us and the board remember.

Re: GOF have you given in to DAVE MARSHALL!!!

Time will tell!! That is on both sides!!!

Re: GOF have you given in to DAVE MARSHALL!!!

Correct decision GoF. It's a small thing, and it keeps at least one person onside

Re: GOF have you given in to DAVE MARSHALL!!!

If taking a picture off the website can help the club in the long run then there is no doubt it was correct to remove it. I just hope Davie keeps his word as GoF did.
