----- Original Message ----- Last time an England (and Swindon, the sheep sh*gger) supporting mate of mine was over in Turkey, the first thing he was asked by locals was whether he was a Leeds fan.
There is a world of difference between being down on the coasts and being in Istanbul itself. There are direct Jet2 flights from Leeds to Dalaman so they expect to meet Leeds fans down there. The best response is usually- why, who do you support ? You can usually tell immediately if they are looking for trouble and usually they are not. In fact if they are fans of any other club they are likely to express sympathy (and in some cases hatred of Gala). For Turkish purposes I'm personally a Fenerbache fan. That has been quite useful as it brings in the Asia v Europe bit, plus Anatolia verses the rest (to a limited extent) and Attaturk was a Fenerbache fan even though he shunned Istanbul for political purposes. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
