Farewell night in Ali Sami Yen.

The last match ever in Ali Samiyen played 1/11/11.

This stadium has a lot of history, first ever quarterfinal in CL played in Turkey, first ever UEFA cup semifinal in Turkey, etc, etc. Historically the most successful stadium in Turkey without a doubt. Turkish fans passion was known to the rest of the world by Ali Samiyen and the GS fans, We also put Turkish football on the map in this stadium.

We will never forget the victories we had in Ali Samiyen.

Tugay Kerimoglu (Blackburn fans will know him ) was there and in tears as well.. remembering the games and victories he had there.

Such a sad night.

I am really glad to be a fan of Aslanlar/Galatasaray.

I wish we never had to say goodbye to Ali Samiyen... ):

New Stadium, New start. I hope we will have amazing victories there too... and I hope we will never have to turn the lights of our new stadium, ever...

Should support Fenerbahce instead, much better team.
