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.

Youth Players

Are East Fife the only team who don't give youth players a chance? How often do they even get a place on the bench? Surely some are good enough to be given an opportunity.

FFS,we are currently trying to get promoted or hadn`t you noticed?
Not a time for youth players!

Re: Youth Players

So teams who put 1 or 2 youth players on the bench aren't trying to win? Celtic are expected to win every game, but still give youth a chance in place of underperforming big players. Darren O'Dea was given a chance in the champions leage against AC Milan.

Re: Youth Players

Baikie and Gray are the official veterans charity. Guys like Ritchie and Crabbe will always get a game ahead of young talent like Fortune etc under Baikie.

Re: Youth Players

I personally haven't seen any of the youth team's games but from the posts I've seen about them reaching the under 19s final, they must be fairly good. Apart from Fortune getting a chance, surely there are a couple that would have been more than capable of competing in the 3rd division over the season. Right now might not be the best time to throw in inexperienced players but there's been a whole season.
