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.

Mileson to help fans buy Dundee

Gretna owner Brooks Mileson is to help Dundee fans in their bid to become the major shareholders at Dens Park.
The Dee4Life Trust voted on Saturday to launch a fundraising campaign to buy 33% of the shares in the club.

And it announced that Mileson, a keen backer of the supporters trust movement, had promised to visit the city to spearhead their funding drive.

Dundee owner Peter Marr has agreed to reduce his shareholding to 25% as part of a restructuring of the club.

The club announced last week that it would start the season debt free as a result.

The trust, which already owns 5% of Dundee's shares, need to raise around £180,000 to become the biggest shareholding group.

Gretna will be Dundee's opponents in Division One next season after successive promotions.

Mileson has bankrolled Gretna's success but is also a major supporter of grassroots football.

He recently admitted to giving money to nearly 70 clubs in Scotland and England, including Dundee United.
