With the footie season being with us in a very short time, is there one particular bar where Liverpool fans meet to watch every game in Girne?
I know there are many bars / hotels that show football matches live, but I have always found them to be frequented by ex-pats who support every team under the sun and only appear to be there because it is something to do irrespective of who they are watching play. I am not interested in watching any team, only my team – Liverpool . So is there a place where only exiled Kopites (ex-pats and or Turkish Cypriots) gather together on match days to watch our beloved reds, if not would any other Liverpool fan like to suggest a place where we could meet up en-mass to watch our team together this coming season.
I await your serious replies together with the sarcastic and silly ones!

A good place to watch Liverpool play in the very near future, where there's sure to be many other like-minded Scousers around you, would be Beşiktaş' Vodafone Park on August 14th. It's only a short hop away, and, if the location means anything to you, then the new stadium (as did Beşiktaş' former İnönü Stadium) would appeal to you, there along the shores of the Bosphorus ... compared to, say, the Olympic Stadium, almost in the middle of nowhere, but where, as I recollect, Liverpool were moderately successful in 2005.

Many thanks for your reply. As you are no doubt a football fan knowing that Beşiktaş play at the BJK Vodafon Stadium and that Liverpool will be playing there very soon and as kind as your information is, you don’t have to tell me where Liverpool are playing I know (like in 2007 when we played Beşiktaş at their old ground before it was knocked down to make way for their new stadium or 2015 when we played them at the Ataturk whilst their new stadium was being built – out of the Big 3 I found the Beşiktaş fans the most frightening during visits to our matches with the Big 3), and likewise you are right Beşiktaş Park will be a sea of red on August 14th just like Wembley will be ten days earlier on August 4th for the Charity Shield and Qatar in December for the Club World Cup, will I do your so called little hop (which incidentally I did do in 2005) and be there – after 40 years of driving and flying thousands of miles each season following the Reds across Europe, the answer is NO but my son and grandson will be, just as they will be at Wembley on the 4th now that they’ve taken on my season tickets whilst I retire to our little bit of heaven here on earth where I’ve had a home for 16 years. Which is why after trying lots of places over the years I ask the question about where to watch with fellow Kopites in Girne!

It refers to the 8 - 0 drubbing that Liverpool inflicted upon Beşiktaş in Nov 2007. However, Portishead_Scouser apparently went to the match, played in Istanbul, two weeks earlier, when Beşiktaş defeated his "beloved" Liverpool 2 - 1 - it just goes to show what home advantage can do for a team.

By the way, there are Liverpool supporters club all over the south side;

But unfortunately none, it would seem, in the north

Amongst the Turkish Cypriots, by the way, they are more likely to support Arsenal or Tottenham, because north-east London (particularly Enfield, Harringey, Hackney) is the area in the UK with the highest density of Turkish Cypriots.
