Fethiyespor played Goztepe this evening who have a sizable fan base as witnessed by the 800 or so fans that made the trip from Izmir.Made for a fantastic atmosphere inside the stadium despite the result being a somewhat drab 0-0 draw.Did hear reports of trouble before the match at the Zakkum:(

Have never seen as many motorbikes and scooters going by as late tonight on the 22m road - for a moment thought I was back on the Isle of Wight for the bank holiday run.

Breaking News
Fethiye Spor was due to play a match against Göztepe an Izmir football team on Sunday and, before the match even got underway, fans of the rival teams were battling it out on the streets.
Apparently Göztepe fans were throwing rocks to break the windows of cars and businesses at around 18:30 along the 22 metre (Migros) road near to the Yapi Kredi Bank/Garanti Bank.
That prompted local police to fire their guns into the air to stop them.
Traffic was prevented from using the busy main road until the disturbance was cleared.
Meanwhile a group of Fethiye fans attacked a lone Göztepe fan who was then taken to hospital.
Later fans ouside the stadium clashed with police.
The crowd threw stones and bottles injuring 4 officers and many fans.
Police used tear gas to disperse the crowds.
The match started at 20:30.
We'll be publishing the home fixtures for Fethiyespor in our What's On Guide over the next few months so you know when to go along (or avoid the matches).
