Alright troops. Was good meeting some of you boys last week in Eskisehir. Am flying out to Edinburgh the morra for the second leg. Do any of you boys know if there will be any other Eskisehir fans going out at the same time? I know that some of you guys keep in touch. Everybody I have spoken to has had difficulties with visas. Cheerz
Every man and their dug smokes in the stadium mate. I have never been to a game where the no smoking rule is enforced. I know I will be smoking at the game. At other places it is relaxed. You will see when you come mate. Nothing tae worry about.
Oh here by the way I forgot to mention 222. It is a nightclub complex wi beer garden etc and is excellent at this time of year. If you come out of Ibis hotel, hang a right then take first right again. After crossing the bridge 222 is on your left hand side. Minted grub and drink.
Mate Bar Street is by far and away your best place before and after the match. All the Es-Es fans go there before the match as well but you will be ok. They are a friendly mob. There are fountains but it is roasting so no go there hahaha. Remember it is illegal to walk about wi a cargo here. Stick to the bars is the best advice.
Esenler mate if you are arriving at Ataturk airport. There is a direct metro link from the airport. Esenler is basically the Turkish version of Buchanan Street. If Sabiha Gokcen get the Hava service to Dudullu. Tell the Havas driver you want to go tae Eskisehir. Good luck mate.
If you are on the Easyjet flight then you are flying intae Sabiha Gokcen which makes the bus journey the best option by far. Even if I were flying intae Ataturk I would still take the bus. No brainer...
