Mate and I who went to the game have just booked for October with the wives (quid pro quo). Fantastic City.
See what we can get for them down the Grand Bazaar.

Should have mentioned earlier I managed to get a glimpse of the ubiquitous @Ric before the game whilst you were standing in what seemed an eternity at the drinks & food concession stand.
Only clocked when a lady went over to hug you & rejoined at the back stating you had helped her out on a matter.
Felt too embarrassed to say hello, plus didn’t want to lose my place in the queue. You never stopped smiling in that godforsaken queue & this was before we had won!

Would I be right in thinking Istanbul saw the greatest ever gathering of Manchester City fans on foreign soil?
Should have made the effort.
Might go back to Istanbul in the future now I know what’s involved getting there and what to do and what not to do. Pre plan trips to the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazar, Bagdat Street, etc.
Bagdat Street.
Bağdat Avenue is one of the most important high streets on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, Turkey. It runs approximately 14 km from Maltepe in the east to Kadıköy in the west, almost paralleling the coastline of the Sea of Marmara.
According to a study conducted by a French company, the Bagdat Street has been ranked as the 4th best shopping street in the world.
The region around the street is also a rich settlement area for the Istanbul locals. There are also some very beautiful mansions around.
You can find numerous luxury cafes, new generation coffee houses, restaurants and shops along the streets. The numerous bars, pubs and clubs also great night out activities for the visitors to enjoy a lively night in Istanbul.

i ve been all over euorpe... barca was great. i hate paris. london is great for sure. lived in amsterdam 5 years. it is different.
i believe, yes, bagdat street, top 3 maybe.. ( it also changed a lot lately, but still good)
next time you ll come to kadıkoy. (acrually that will be the safe side you should stay and enjoyif city and gala will be in the same groups / nevizade - european side belongs to gala) ( that time Fb fans will be your best friends :))) )...
i hope i ll meet you again, so i want city in gala's group. but i dont want it, probably 9-0 in city, and we ll lose in istanbul also.... :)))
cheers.

Ha, you should've said hello mate! That queue was an absolute nightmare though, an hour and a half to get a tepid water for 5 euros!

Wasn't there something in the evening news that said 100,000 blues flew out of Manchester or did I imagine that?!
Manchester Airport sees busiest day since before pandemic due to City
Over 100,000 passengers passed through security on Friday 9 June

The majority of the 100,000 was city fans.
