Turkey has come up with a radical solution for tackling crowd violence at football matches - ban the men and let only women and children in. Under new rules approved by Turkey's football association, only women and children under the age of 12 will be admitted to watch games - for free - involving teams which have been sanctioned for unruly behavior by their fans. More than 41,000 women and children filled the stadium to watch the Istanbul side draw 1-1 with Manisapor, the club announced. Fenerbahce was ordered to play two home matches without any spectators after its fans invaded the pitch during a friendly against Ukrainian champion Shakhtar Donetsk. The federation changed its rules this week to allow women and children in. Fenerbahce captain Alex de Sousa said: "This memory will stay with me forever. It's not always that you see so many women and children in one game." Manisaspor midfielder Omer Aysan said: "It was such a fun and pleasant atmosphere. "This really is a historic day," said Yasemin Mercil, a female member of Fenerbahce's executive board. "For the first time in the world, only women and children will watch a game." "The women know all the chants. The same anthems, the same chants will be sung," Mercil said before the game. "We have to thank the ladies for coming to support us," Fenerbahce defender Joseph Yobo told Lig TV. "It's difficult playing without the fans." yay for women! |

havent seen any photos but there's a video on the article, havent had a chance to watch it though. i expect to see some passionate female fans though it is unfair but until they find a solution that is going to target specifically and only those guilty people are always going to come up with crazy ways to try and combat this. the problem is that there are SO many people at a football game its hard to find those who are guilty. until they are able to find enough time, money, labour and resources to investigate riots and general hooliganism like this i don't think much is going to change. i definitely cant see this being implemented in this country...i'd love it though! i'd be there every game

In Turkey if there is trouble at a game eg pitch invasion, they will ban fans from games for between 1 and 5 games. The clubs argue that they are being punished (losing gate receipts) for something they don't formally control (their fans) even though they try. This was a proposed solution, allow women and children under 12 to attend, that way excluding the trouble causers. Which is a lot easier than excluding the individuals at the gate. I beleive the match was a sell out as more than 43,000 turned up and about 41,500 got in to see the game. So Fenebache didn't lose out on gate receipts, despite it being televised live as well. Although the accoustics were higher the atmostphere was tons better than playing to an empty and silent stadium. UEFA have demanded games be played behind closed doors before so I wouldn't be surprised if this compromise isn't suggested if that happens again. Apparently there were some vulgar chants!
