Who are we


This is a short introduction to the blog for Turkish journalists who wish to write about us or for those just curious as to who we are.

1. We are a group of football supporters who come from many countries: Turkey, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Croatia, Germany, the United States, France, Denmark, Finland and a few others.

2. We are split with some us supporting Ankaragucu and some of us supporting Genclerbirligi. None of us support Ankaraspor.

3. The correct technical term for this site is a "blog". If you plan on writing about us please use the name of the blog "The round ball in Ankara" and also please give our url www.ankarafootball.com

4. We try to go to as many matches as we can but obviously we do not go to all matches. At times we have had groups of more than 30 people going to a match, sometimes it is just one or two people.

5. We are not all English!!!!

If you would like to contact us then please do so via our contact form.

Aren't you all honoured to be seen as English?! Surely that must be one of the most flattering mistakes someone can make...? :-)

I'm tempted to pour some (not all) of my EFES over Brummy Kankie's heid when I see her !

Sir William Wallace will turn in his grave if he thought any Scotsman would accept being called Ingallish !!!!

Hoots mon.... I might even wear my kilt on Sunday and bring my claymore !!!

The English have given us all many good things... football, cricket, English breakfasts and er... that's all I can think of at the moment.

Eski Kanka Jim said...

Oh yes.......and don't forget they invented football hooliganism !!!!

Brummy Kanka said...

*wipes tear away from eye*

So many things to be proud of...

Eski Kanka Jim said...

Oh yes, and don't forget they oppressed the Scottish people for over 500 years before they ran out of Kings and had to come begging us for one of ours !!!!

26 September 2009.

Welcome to our blog Costacurta Kanka. We are always happy to make contact with fellow Ankaragucu and Gencler fanatiks !

We usually meet in The Chopin Bar on Sakarya Cadd a few hours before matches and then we go to Maraton and are usually in the area of Gate 7 and 8. Lots of Anti-X guys near us too !

For the record, we always admire the loyalty of you guys in Gecikondu and your singing and dancing is something that you won't find in any footie stadium in the world. Keep it up because your support is important for the players and can be worth a goal for most matches !

Look forward to meeting you sometime this season. All the best from Eski Kanka Jim
