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.

BURGER Trips to Dumbarton/Arbroath

For all you train enthusiasts out there let me know if you're available for next weeks trip. Deal is £4.45 return Haymarket to Glasgow Queen St and £3.80 return from there to Dumbarton Central, buy your own ticket to Edinburgh. Probably get 12.19 from Haymarket gets into Dumbarton at 13.59, just a short walk to the ground from there. Return trains are at half hourly intervals from Dumbarton.

Arbroath trip usual deal £10 return if there's 4 or 8 etc.

Re: BURGER Trips to Dumbarton/Arbroath

Count me in for both Stewart! I'll see if the fare dodger wants to go and let you know.

Arbroath will be my last game for 3 months awwwwwwww. Who will take over my role as toblerone distributor now?

Re: BURGER Trips to Dumbarton/Arbroath

Let me know what time you get into Glasgow Queen Street Stewart and I'll see you there...

Re: BURGER Trips to Dumbarton/Arbroath

Should get in at 13.06 with Dumbarton train at 13.23, that is if we get the 12.19 from Haymarket. I'll keep you posted Angus.

Re: BURGER Trips to Dumbarton/Arbroath

If travelling to Dumbarton get off the train at Dumbarton East station. This is closer to the ground (5 min walk) and there is a pub directly across the road from the station. They are a bit funny about football colours though (this is old firm country!!!!!)

Re: BURGER Trips to Dumbarton/Arbroath

What do you predict the pullin opportunities are like on that train?

Re: BURGER Trips to Dumbarton/Arbroath

Hard to predict to be honest, as long as there's no more Falkirk wimmin nicking my bottles of Stella.

Re: BURGER Trips to Dumbarton/Arbroath

Stewart, is Roy among the eleven already counted. He advised I_10 yesterday that he had arranged time off work to go, but I_10 is not always the most reliable to pass a message on.
If he is not already counted please add him to list. Also can you confirm train times from Kirkcaldy. Thanks

Re: BURGER Trips to Dumbarton/Arbroath

I got a text on Wednesday, so Roy is included Thanks.

Times are:

11.06 EDIN 18.17 ARBR
