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.

Attendance - 332

ABSOLUTE LIES!

Re: Attendance - 332

150 at most!

Re: Attendance - 332

FISH!!!!

Re: Attendance - 332

332..Unbelievable! There was probably more protesters than people who paid through the gate.

Re: Attendance - 332

Me and the Athlete that is Ian Matthew counted around 140 in the home end with about 30 in the Montrose end. We also used binnoculors for a 2nd count.

Re: Attendance - 332

If they keep this up it is going to cost the club loads of money, just think, all it takes is Derrick to step down/be replaced and we call a halt to the whole thing.

A very simple solution, so what are they waiting for?

Re: Attendance - 332

Is that countin' the five that walked oot an' the Glesga mafia that walked oot wi' aboot twenty minutes tae gan, no' forgettin Zoe's bairn. Fae the mound it looked mair like 132. Still as long as Derrick's happy, he can rest easy the nicht. 'es fingers'll no be sair countin' the cash onywey.
Lets see what another fortnicht brings, 'ell need tae falsify even mair phantom supporters.
Onywey the banter on the mound's better than listenin' tae the rustle o' sweetie papers in the stand. Derrick can ye no arrange fur somebody tae come roond the mound wi' pies an' cups o' bovril at half time. Might go some way tae makin' up the shortfall in yer takin's.

Re: Attendance - 332

How the hell does the major shareholders continue to accept this.
There was no more than 150 East Fife supporters at the game and that tells its own story.

As Igor said,it could not be simpler..Brown goes and we all go back.
TBH,to see 2 season ticket holders doing what they did was sad..but totally,totally justified.

Re: Attendance - 332

In the two ends closest to the sea wall there was 45 fans.

In two sections!

Mind they'll count season ticket holders whether they turn up or not, so we could have it down to double figures by end of season.

Why would the major shareholders be happy and accept this?

And why would they keep backing Brown?

Unless of course they don't give a flying fuck.

Re: Attendance - 332

I think the shareholders would be happy to see this because they obviously have an ulterior motive - namely selling the clubs assets to the highest bidder. Or is there another explanation? - I think to ensure the future of the club we need to get rid of the board and the majority shareholders and take back the club for the supporters.

Re: Attendance - 332

Absolute fucking tosh.

232 I could maybe accept but 332 is fucking ridiculous.

Even if it was 332 then more than 15% of that turned up to protest and far more stayed at home.

This must be an attempt to balance up the previous underestimating crowd figures.

Re: Attendance - 332

Yup. Once again, Mr Brown, your pants are on fire.
Tonight before settling down to watch the Kenny Deuchar show on BBC1 I watched Captain Correli's Mandolin for the purposes of light entertainment. There was a wonderful scene where the village elders, after hours of consultation, provided the imposters with a written statement. A statement that contained two words...


FUCK OFF

Re: Attendance - 332

Absolute Lies

Mt Brown says thats the attendance, so it must be true, after all he "doesnt lie"
