There's  loads of locals follow us - stems from 2005. The Turkish Reds organised the boat trip on the Bosphorus, which was brilliant ! Still on me way back home - in Sofia at the moment after the overnight train.....knackered !

Yes wasn’t surprised by the support in the ground overall but in the actual end where you got tickets from the club there was still loads, plenty of empty seats too

Really glad I ended up doing this, even if it was a very short rushed trip with far too much travel involved! Istanbul was heaving - do people go there for Eid and stay celebrating all week?

It's a city of 15 million people, but with Eid I think there were more there. I went to both the Blue Mosque & Aghia Sophia with big crowds at both, with plenty of Muslim and Christian tourists at both venues.........and I have to say, very respectful of each others religious site.

If we ever play in Marrakech I'd probably advise you to not even bother booking a hotel you'll never find it!

Got back yesterday from this and had a great time

Istanbul is busy to say the least as those of you who went in 2005 will know. I got conned by a shoe shining fella within ten minutes of arriving in the city. All part of the experience :D

The ground was very impressive. Great views of it as you walk down into the valley it’s set in and great that it’s walkable from the city. Walked down with a group of about 50 local supporters who were lighting flares and getting behind the team early.

The mix in the ground was good too. Nice to be at the match without hearing a load of moaning too

The game was very watchable but god it was hot!

Anyway a great trip. So glad we went and can’t wait for Qatar now

Getting back and checking the result at Southampton as we touched down only added to the trip too!

Heard some great stories from this trip. The boat trip looked amazing. Crazy the impact 2005 had on the locals too.

Was quite touching reading about a couple lads who reunited with some Turkish mates they made back in 2005 again. Football is great.

Lol. Me and Mrs theoldkopite were by the Blue Mosque the morning after. A load of young school kids noticed my lfc tee shirt so I started the Liverpool chant and they all joined in. They marched off to the mosque like a gang of young Kopites :D :D..........and I got told off by mrs the old kopite for making the teacher's job more difficult cos the kids were all high!

Had a cracking time in Istanbul last week. Not been on a boat for 3 years, also did the Blue Mosque & had a few kebabs out there. Did a night in Berlin on Thursday, started on the steins & followed them up with Curry Wurst. Come to regret that on Friday.

Roll on the group stage & Qatar.
