Good morning Manchester,
I ve been advising you for you stay at Istanbul. I hope i am helpful.
As ı told you, we have a refugee problem in Turkey. That's why i was telling that try to book your hotels near Besiktas, Kadıkoy etc, not in the center of Fatih (too many refugees there)

That incident happened yesterday in Turkey. Dont worry, but be informed. Be careful, the ones who will stay near Fatih,or Taksim (not much refugees in Taksim). Esp at night; you may get drunk etc. be careful.

Stop scaremongering that sort of shit can happen anywhere.

Looking At a few hotels close to Taksim Square, are there plenty of other blues around this area,
2 old farts so dont want to be wandering around clueless as to where we are

There will be loads of blues around there, probably will be the area with the most blues I'd imagine

Cheers for that mate, will book around there, never done an overseas away, so both of us a bit apprehensive but if plenty of other blues about to copy and follow will make us feel a bit better

Blues, dont get caught out by the 150 days left on your passport requirement. I don't know if they will relax it for the final. Almost every European away game we see frustrated blues at the airport getting turned away for not meeting requirements, 150 days might catch people out!
