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.

MOUND PROTEST SUSPENDED

MOUND PROTEST SUSPENDED
THE nine-month public protest by East Fife supporters is over — for the time being at least.
Opponents have been campaigning vigorously for the removal of former chairman Derrick Brown from the club, following his refusal to sell shares to supporters and to allow them to become involved more in the club.
The active campaign included a march through Leven, led by a pipe band, and regular demonstrations both at home and away matches.
The temporary suspension follows the installation of new chairman Willie Gray and new director Sid Collumbine, who have signalled their desire to involve the Supporters' Trust on the club board.
In a statement calling for the protest to be shelved for the moment, Matthew McLean, one of the protest leaders said:
``Now we have cleared our initial hurdle of removing Derrick Brown as club chairman, it is time to alter our strategy and give the reconstructed board the chance to bring about other changes.
"We want the supporters to be able to work with the club to rebuild this proud and famous club."
Members of East Fife Supporters' Trust were due to have a meeting on Tuesday with Willie Gray and Sid Collumbine, in which it was hoped to agree on a joint plan for the trust's future role in the development of the club.

FIFE BOSS CAUTIOUS AFTER FLYING START TO SEASON
DESPITE a solid start to the season, East Fife boss Dave Baikie has admitted his side isn't the finished article.
Having taken four points out of six in the league and produced a creditable performance against St Johnstone in the CIS Cup last week, Baikie could be forgiven for feeling pleased with himself.
But the perfectionist has vowed to do what he can to improve the team and ensure this isn't a false dawn, after a disappointing couple of years for the Fife faithful.
His side's credentials will be tested this week with a Bell's Challenge Cup tie against Division One outfit Ross County at Bayview on Wednesday evening and a home game against league favourites Arbroath on Saturday.
He said: "These will be tough games but we've had difficult games already and we came out with credit.
"There is some way to go and we are not the finished article. I am still looking for a couple of players, if that's feasible.
"But we need to see how the new players settle in and what happens when the injured players return."
