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.

It is rumoured that EMI are in negotiations with the Bayview Choir to reform for the Arbroath game.
The Choir's most famous hits include, "The Cowden Family", "Mary fae Methilhill", "The Lion sleeps tonight" and "Away in a Manger".
They hit the headlines in the Sunday Mail, at the unofficial Doug McCracken testimonial, at Stranraer, by throwing carrots and hay at the worst player ever to put on a black and gold jersey. Choir frontman, Stevie Tindal, was later to be offered a square go by the donkey defender. Other scrapes include being cornered by casuals in Glasgow and offering to settle their differences with a quiz.
GOF, Devonfifer, JT (bring your brother), Section J, DHAS, Mini, Pele, Stevie Gillespie, Frootie, the entire Jugs family, Mike Gill, Angusfifer (still recall that solo at Brechin "Oh I never felt more like singin the blues.....") Craigie Bernard, Wayne the widtink, Cocket, Jeff (the one that went raj in the pie stall at Berwick. They scored and Jeff tried to start Bannockburn II by throwing pies at everything English) and everyone else that made an erse of themselves on a regular basis at the segregation fence, are you goin'?
Mind and bring the Benylin

Want Berwick in the play offs. Think I can remember a pub called the Brown, or maybe the Black Bear, in Berwick. Can definately remember Bertie Bald, sittin', oot of his face on Becks, in the middle of Dixons, in the High St, in Berwick. He sat there with his head almost in his lap calling everyone an English bastard. Then being met by ones that had come down earlier and spent the day shoplifting out of the open air market.
Last memory of that day was looking at the railway line at Berwick Station and asking why there was a kettle and microwave on the line. Someone told me that they had just fetched them out of the Station Masters office. That apparently would teach the English bastard!
