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.

Challenge Cup

East Fife v Ross County

Re: Challenge Cup

Not a great draw, we beat them 2-1 last pre-season, before that the last time I can think of us playing them was a midweek cup tie at old Bayview where they won (1-0??)

Re: Challenge Cup

tough match. hopefully brown will be gone by then so we can get a good attendance and make use of the home advantage.

Re: Challenge Cup

1994-95
We played them in the Challenge Cup and the Scottish Cup. I think we won them both 1-0 but I stand to be corrected...

Re: Challenge Cup

We won the Challenge Cup one 2-1 with Scotty scoring the winner & the Scottish Cup tie 1-0 with a Gilbert Allan penalty.
Never met them on league business tho!

Re: Challenge Cup

Living in the frozen North just now, don't hold too much hope for a victory. The County fans all seem very enthusiastic about Scott Leitch and the young guys he's bringing through - plus the older players he's managed to bring back - particularly Derek Adams. And their pre-season seems to be going pretty well too - drew 1-1 with Motherwell while we were doing the same against Edinburgh Uni....
