Greetings Kankas and Kankies.
Not a happy start in the League for Gencler last night with 5 Yellows, 1 Red and Zero points !
Rizespor 1 Genclerbirligi 0
I was unable to watch the match, but perhaps Oz Kanka saw it down south on his holiday and can add a brief report. Also, Spine or The Flying Dutchman ?
Team - Ramazan, Gosso, Mervan, Doga, Kulusic, Jimmy, Stancu, Tosic, Serkan, Sedat and Tomic.
Subs used - Zec, Ozgur and Oktay
The Rize goal was scored by Sercan on the half hour mark, and according to The Hurriyet this morning, Men-of-the-Match were Rize goalkeeper Pawelek, and defenders Viera, Ali Adnan and Sylvestre. Indications that Gencler was on attack mode but unable to find the back of the net ?!
Kulusic of Gencler received his Red Card near the end of the match.
On another subject, and I know that our Webmaster (Oz Kanka) doesn't like us to mention Ankaraspor, but I feel bound to say that they return to action tonight in the PTT League having served out their 3 years banishment punishment.
Let's hope they don't get promoted this season so that we can have an Ankara Derby in the PTT League next season with Ankaragucu taking them on after winning the 2nd Division Title yesssssssss !!!
All the best from Eski Kanka Jim

Ankaragucu 1-1 Sakaryaspor
Todays friendly finished 1-1 with Mert Pamukkaya scoring the goal for Ankaragucu. The young midfielder who signed a professional contract a couple of weeks ago is hoping to impress in pre season and push for a place in the first team.
Ankaragucu have also at this stage sold 10,000 season tickets with Besiktas only selling 7,000 :-).
THE TURKISH SUPER LEAGUE KICKS OFF
Greetings Kankas and Kankies.
With Oz Kanka on his way to the south coast on holiday, let me try and keep you up-to-date with what's going on with Genclerbirligi's fixtures.
The Super League kicks off tonight (KO 9.45pm) in Antalya, with the home side playing against Erciyes.
As Oz told most of you in an email recently, Gencler will be playing tomorrow night 17 August KO 8pm in Rize. The match will probably be on one of the League TV channels.
Gencler's first home match will be the following week on Friday night 23 August against Akhisar and the KO will be ......... wait for it ....... another 9.45pm.
So, if any of the Gencler Kankas are going to this match then please make a brief report for the Blog. If you can't access the Blog to do this, then send it to me and I'll copy and paste.
As for Ankaragucu, the season is all about pre-season friendlies at the moment as you can see from Nadeem's recent report.
The League season for Ankaragucu will KO on 8 September with a home match against Gungoren. However, we are still under a Stadium Ban from last season's 'problems' so it will be ladies and children only in attendance.
The first home match which we will be able to attend in on 27 October against Pazar !!!
Hopefully the Ankaragucu 'supporters' who caused this 'problem' last season will have learned their lesson and will heed Mehmet Bey's warning about stadium behaviour this season.
10 Months without being able to watch a home match is the type of punishment we do NOT want to witness again !

Ankaragucu 2-0 Gaziosmanpasa !
Ankaragucu got off to a winning start on their first pre season game of the 2013/14 season. The game was played in Bolu where the first teams training camp is located. Manager Hayati Soldas was very happy with the teams performance as they created many chances and all the players got a good run out.
The team that started the game is as follows : Bayram, Orhan, Gurkan, Aytac, Mehmet, Mert, Harun, Kaan, Serkan, Gokhan, Umut Nayir
Ankaragucu will play against Sakaryaspor tomorrow night as the team continue to be put through their paces. In news off the field, President Yiginer spoke today saying he believes the club can sell 20,000 season tickets. Its reported that the club have already sold 9,000 season tickets to date.
Yiginer also spoke to the clubs Tribune leaders and said Ankaragucu will have a new image and no more trouble on the terraces of Stadium bans. Lets hope that is true as the club has lost too much money for crowd trouble in the past.

Ankaragucu season ticket sales going strong !
The Dirlilis Ankaragucu campaign started by President Yiginer has been a massive success with Ankaragucu fans flocking in their numbers to snap up their Kombine Cards. Its reported that the club has sold 6000 season tickets to date which is a remarkable achievement for the Lig 2 club. The clubs facebook page has been inundated with photos of fans and staff with their season tickets.
We have even had a fan from America buying his ticket. I have booked my flights for 24th October - 29th October for the Pazarspor match. Im hoping to maybe even buy a season ticket when im over and do my bit in this campaign.
In other news Koray Kantemir has left the club and signed for fellow Lig 2 club Sekerspor . Ankaragucu also won 2-0 tonight in a friendly against Gaziosmanpasa. More to follow.....

Kizilcahamamspor team profile !
Founded in 1950 Kizilcahamamspor are another of the Ankara clubs who will play in the Turkish Lig 2 this coming season. Formerly known as Pursaklarspor the team play their home matches in the Kizilcaham Country Stadium which holds about 5100 people.
Both sides met last season in a friendly where Ankaragucu came out 2-0 winners. Last season was very successful for Kizilcahamam as they finished 6th and only 4 points away from the playoffs. This season they will be looking to go one better and challenge for promotion.
With Pursaklar being a district of Ankara this may also be a good game for the Kanka group to consider for an away match. Both clubs also have a friendly relationship which should make a safe trip for anyone looking to attend the game.
In other news, Season ticket sales have reported to have reached near the 2000 mark with Ankaragucu fans queueing up for their new Kombine cards. Prices range from 75-150 Turkish Lira and can be purchased from the club shop.
