On Google Maps there looks to be a Metro station quite close to the ground called MetroKent
Maybe thedmcistanbul can confirm?
What time does the Metro line close?

yes there is a metro station near the stadium.
as far as i know the last metro is at 00:00 but you need to transfer 2 more times to come to the city. i would not trust the metro for return, you may end up in the middle of nowhere in the city as you need to change the line, by that time, the next line will not be operating. hope it makes sense

doesn't matter how long it is since Tony missed a game -makes it seem like missing this is a crime. Tony will always be up there in terms of amount of games visited in his lifetime

Sorry you aren't with us tomorrow Tony
Not a all. I was just wondering about the last time he missed one. Ive never spoken to him or met the man but he seems like he’s here there and everywhere supporting the boys. Whether thats to first team or youths.

As far as I understand everybody makes their own way to the stadium tomorrow unless club organizes transfer to the ground.

I am planning to organize a shuttle bus from stadium back to airport and then city center, old town and Taksim. This will be £ 10 per person or 70 Turkish lira.

This will be a minibus with 15 persons capacity. There will be a person outside stadium around the away end, holding a signboard ''Airport shuttle Burnley Fans'' if anyone wants to join feel free to whatsapp on 0090 533 708 51 97

Safe travel & enjoy your time in Istanbul...

Sinan
A bump for this.

Wouldn’t be so sure Sinan. If the club transport isn’t going to Taksim, a few of us may still be interested. Check the other thread.
