The Kanka Group more than just football fans

Hello Kankas, First of all just want to say thank you to OZ Kanka and Jim for allowing me to Post on the Blog.

I wanted my first post to be about the Kankas, as in years to come i can always look back and say, well that was my first post haha. Its Been a year and a half now since if become an Ankaragucu fan. In that time alot has happned, I have been over twice to see Ankaragucu play, and on both times we lost. Maybe third time lucky.

It was this blog that actually got me to supporting Ankaragucu, it was a photo of Jim on a boat in Bodrum with an Ankaragucu top on where it all started. The one thing about the Kanka group is, that they are different from most fan groups. We are a group made up of different religions, and races, all with one thing in common, our love for Ankaragucu and Genclerbirligi. I have met Kankas from Scotland, England, Turkey, Australia, Romania, Holland, Germany, USA to name a few and im sure there will be more to join in.

For anyone looking in who hasnt been over, please give it a try, you will be met by a fantastic welcome from all the Kankas, you will experience a fantastic country and city, and the most generous people. But most of all the football is something you will never forget.

Finally heres to 2010 and Ankaragucu and Genclerbirligi !!

  6. Yes, I noticed that. Not bad news at all. If Ankaragucu or Gencler make it that far, it is a boring but easy enough trip. Been there twice myself.
