Reis Jim Chalmers interview with TRT!



Scottish people prefer to take the mickey out of each other rather than compliment each other. It's our culture and something that probable only we understand. That said, Jim deserves some credit for his contribution to the Blog over the years and more important the Kanka Group made up of Ankaragucu and Genclerbirligi fans.

The amount of different nationalities including Britain, USA, Germany, Romania, Holland, Australia, Croatia, just to name a few who have all become part of the family is largely due to Jim and Chris. For us Ankaragucu fans Jims enthusiasm for football, Ankaragucu and friendship is something that has saw the Kanka Group becoming a well respected and recognised fan group amongst other fans.

Today, we received a little bit more recognition as Jim was part of a documentary on Ankaragucu and their quest to win promotion to Lig 1. It was filmed and aired by TRT this morning much to the appreciation of the Ankaragucu fans. You can see the full documentatry here Ankaragucu TRT Documentary

Jim and then Round Ball in Ankara was the reason that I started supporting the club 8 years ago. Tomorrow we have the opportunity of winning promotion and 30,000 Ankaragucu fans have made the trip to Kayseri, we will all be cheering on all across the world as Ankaragucu fans hoping the team deliver the 3 points.

Now back to being Scottish, Jim enjoy tomorrow and well done on your interview, but.......wipe away those tears after watching your Hibs lose to Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Semi Final. Hopefully Ankaragucu weren't watching lol.

  1. Thanks for those kind words great friend Nadeem. Hibs won promotion back into their God given rightful position in the Premier League, and hopefully Ankaragucu will win promotion tomorrow in Kayseri. Yes, the Kanka Group is famous and long may that continue. As I have said many times, you can take Ankaragucu out of the super league, but you can't take Ankaragucu out of Ankaragucu fanatics hearts !!! We will live to see them back there too ! :-)
