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.

The True Identity of The Mole

Let me say right at the start that I don’t know who The Mole is and that what follows is no more than plausible conjecture.

He/she claims to have inside knowledge and to know the “main players” and uses this apparent knowledge to cast all sorts of doubts over the intentions of various parties, particularly Willie Gray. His/her knowledge suggests someone with an involvement in Scottish football probably at club board level

So we need to work out who could have access to the level of info he has shown, who would have an interest in undermining WG and why would they want to do that.

I would rule out any existing members of the EFFC Board – there are plenty of channels they can use to get their points across without adopting a false name on a website. Nor can I see how anyone of them would benefit from the exercise.

So if it’s not an EFFC board member it’s someone involved with another football club but why would he/she want to prevent WG being involved at East Fife? Here we must remember Section 13 of the SFA rules concerning dual involvement – no-one can be involved in the administration of more than one club at a time (yes, I know about the Ms Twigg story!) If there is another club who want Willie Gray, not only for his good looks and business background but also possibly for his money(!) then he must be encouraged to leave us for the other club. Campaigning against him with dire warnings etc may be one way to do that – after all WG doesn’t need the hassle.

Let us pop a few miles along the Standing Stane road. Here we have a club with apparently a cash flow crisis which is likely to worsen. We have an interesting set up whereby the rent for the ground, wages etc have to be paid (but see previous point). Supposing a nice man like WG could be persuaded that East Fife is not worth the bother and that he’d be much better going back along the road back to his first true love. Oh and bring some money with him so that the wages and rent can be paid.

Now I have no idea who’s in charge of what in Kirkcaldy but there may be someone associated with the club whose vested interests - not necessarily those of the RR board itself – would be best served by the above situation.

Over to you dear readers.

Fcuk me this is getting great im off to get my pipe.

Re: The True Identity of The Mole

My own personal thoughts would be a Rovers fan, someoneone connected with the Rovers or a relation of Derricks.

Maybe GOF could run an IP check for us

Re: The True Identity of The Mole

Wait mr holmes what if eugene is really a double agent for mr morriatte and is clutching at straws just too get us back

RIGHT CLARK YOUR NICKED!

Re: The True Identity of The Mole

YOU TO WEBCRAWLER YOUR NICKED GEORGE TAKE THEM AWAY

Re: The True Identity of The Mole

Not even close, Eugene, (wrong direction) but I commend you on your vivid imagination. However I have to say that this latest attempt to deflect attention away from yourself will not work. You are the leading player in this, not me!

It is increasingly obvious, sadly, that you have fallen under Mr Gray's spell. Was it the size of his wad?

Re: The True Identity of The Mole

Can I have a guess at a Alan and Gordon Henderson Mole/Vole double act then? And is there a trophy if anyone's right? I'm just asking before Tam!

Re: The True Identity of The Mole

I notice the Mole chose not to answer the Henderson allegations! Worth you checking the IP there I'd say Goffy!

Re: The True Identity of The Mole

Eugene, you are losing the plot here. Willie Gray was frozen out at Raith Rovers when Reclaim The Rovers was formed to save the club from the Gray regime (Anelka etc). For goodness sake, he did not choose to leave Raith to join East Fife. He joined East Fife because he was out on his arse. If the current Raith board could banish him further than Methil, they would. No-one at Stark's Park wants him back. That's why he says he wants East Fife to pass Raith on the way up - he has an axe to grind.

Mole and Vole are the Hendersons? I don't think so. Mole and Vole have encouraged supporters and protestors to get rid of Brown entirely. The Hendersons want to keep him!

Re: The True Identity of The Mole

"However I have to say that this latest attempt to deflect attention away from yourself will not work."

Good God Mr Mole!

Never in my wildest dreams would I ever have thought that someone would accuse me of trying to deflect attention from myself! Have you ever tried to get me to shut up?

Re: The True Identity of The Mole

Puzzled and Moundee, don't be ridiculous.

For what it's worth, GoF can check my IP adress against the Mole's.
