Gotcek finally finishes the fnnn metro and it picks up at Bilkent and drops you off in Gençlik park somewhere between the Lacivert and the team's official store where you can purchase your gear from the owner/manager Maniac Kanka.BattleHardenedKankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644720603814819300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-9057246357107674472009-09-06T11:32:38.163+03:002009-09-06T11:32:38.163+03:00A pearl of a comment from Battle Damaged Kanka Dam...A pearl of a comment from Battle Damaged Kanka Damon which had me rolling on the floor with laughter ! However, I would say that 'optimistic' is the wrong word. I would say that it might be more appropriate to use the word 'dream' !!<br /><br />King Ziggy is obviously a careful man ! He doesn't want to take up my bet - wise decision me thinks !!! Alcohol in one of I.M.G.'s parks ??? ..... mmmmmm ..... I don't think so !!Eski Kanka Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409300460469903974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-20598506362168105862009-09-06T01:14:01.254+03:002009-09-06T01:14:01.254+03:00Maybe the Lacivert can re-open there.

Philly Kanka and I were fairly certain that the entire place was going to be destroyed by the crowd. People were sitting in all possible places: trees, bushes, pretty much everywhere. I can't make comparisons to the old park, as it existed before my time in Ankara, but I think the new version is quite nice and certainly a good (re)addition to the city.<br /><br />I would agree with Eski that the restaurants look a bit small. Even if alcohol is served, I'm not sure how it's going to fit all of us and others during the winter. It also doesn't feel quite right to abandon Chopin. It has a fond place in my heart as the birthplace of my connection to the Team, and the waiters are good guys despite their football allegiances. Perhaps we could consider populating a Genclik bar before the matches and Chopin afterwards? Just a suggestion; we'll have to wait and see the offerings in the park before making a decision.Connect Kanka Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-60478186755882061732009-09-05T14:58:23.006+03:002009-09-05T14:58:23.006+03:00You have summarised the situation very clear; &quo...You have summarised the situation very clear; "but the old ambiance has disappeared." They made another Altınpark in the center of the city. Gençlik Parkı was different than that "IMGmade all holy green parks". And I bet there wont be any alcohol.
