Bert Le Clos Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Some out of the box thinking from the Turkish FA here; Fenerbache Only Allowed to Admit Women & Children Basically sides who are sanctioned because of fans' violence will only be allowed to admit women and children to certain games which would previously only be played behind closed doors. Not sure what I make of it TBH. 41,000 turned up to see Fenerbache, which is great for increasing the number of women and children attending games. But is it really sustainable? How many of these will return for the next game once men are allowed back? Also, with 41,000 turning up and paying for entry, have Fenerbache really been sanctioned for the initial violence? Regardless, if it means an increase in this I'm all for it Though I can't see it being as successfull in Scotland for some reason...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do The Dance Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 To be honest, unless Fenerbache encouraged or sanctioned the initial violence, why should they be punished? Its the fans kicking off. However, its unfair on the male fans that played no part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 41,000 women and children attended? No matter the reasons behind it or arguments for and against, that's a seriously impressive turnout. Especially so when you consider that the capacity of the stadium is 50,500. I was in Istanbul last year and whether or not it means much, I didn't really see many Turkish women out and about on their own socialising or anything like that so I'm a bit gobsmacked by that number.

AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 30,000, all wearing burkhas and veils, were noted to be extremely tall for Turkish women, a spokesman said today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
