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.

Exclusive Interview With A Major Shareholder

Given Derrick Brown’s assertion that he has the support of the major shareholders, we decided we had to track one down and find out the facts about one major shareholder's involvement with East Fife and their relationship with Derrick Brown. Part One of the interview is reproduced below. It should not be considered as being entirely factual on account of me having obviously fabricated the whole thing.

The Undisputed: Thanks for taking the time to talk with us today.

Shareholder Type: That’s okay but my mummy says I’ve to be finished by 3:00 cos I’m going to my friend Becky’s birthday party. She’s going to be nine you know, and there’ll be games and a clown.

TU: Ah, speaking of clowns, can you confirm that you fully support Derrick Brown?

ST: Who’s Derrick Brown?

TU: Er, the Chairman of East Fife FC. Small man with big ears and a nasal voice.

ST: Oh, Uncle Derrick. Well, he’s not my real uncle, we just call him that. I think he works with mummy’s friend Neil. I thought Uncle Derrick was the Chairman of Dumbarton but I’m not sure, it’s all very confusing.

TU: Quite. Do you think ‘Uncle’ Derrick’s doing a good job?

ST: Well his team always seems to get beat but he says it’s not his fault, it’s because of a man dressed as a chicken.

TU: I see. But he claims to have exciting plans for the Club.

ST: Ha ha, yes I heard him saying he was going to have a plastic football pitch. I’m only eight but even I know that’s stupid.

TU: Is ‘Uncle’ Derrick nice to you or does he think children should be seen and not heard?

ST: No, that’s what he says about his other Directors.

TU: Oh. Does he tell you jokes and stuff?

ST: Hmm, not really but I heard him telling Neil a joke which I didn’t understand.

TU: Can you remember the joke?

ST: Yes, he said, “What’s red and throbs between a Director’s legs?”

TU: Okay, and what was it.

ST: “A Lansing Bagnall Twin-Forks” … whatever that is.

TU: Ahem, okay.

Further excerpts from the interview may follow later. The Undisputed would like to point out that he is a member of various organisations including the Automobile Association, The Ambassadeur Snooker Club and the Cellardyke & District Bird-Fanciers Association, but that the above interview should not be construed as being in any way connected with any of them.

Gof'll have this off immediately he sees it. can't wait for the next episode. Best laugh i've had today.
Think Derrick's off to Newcastle for a bouncy castle to go with the plastic pitch.

Re: Exclusive Interview With A Major Shareholder

Er, why would I???

And besides, last time I pulled anything off belonging to The Undisputed things got very messy

Re: Exclusive Interview With A Major Shareholder

Great stuff. We want more.

Re: Exclusive Interview With A Major Shareholder

Apologies Gof my mistake. Thought the interview was a bit too poignant. Was Derrick there today or not? Chicken seems to come to mind!!
