Okay, this story is from the News of the world which speaks more crap than arsene wenger but if there is any substance in it, i think it is quite a good idea from the turks.
The english FA dont wont the fans to travel becasue they risk the possibility of being kicked out of Euro 2004, which would therefore allow Turkey to qualify by defualt if England actually win/draw the game out there.
Genius.

Turkey is a very dangerous place, and we all remember the Galataray fans stabbing and killing a few of the Chelsea and Leeds fans.
Even when Turkey came to England, they were trying to cause a fight and even the players were making death freats to our fans.
> don't worry chelsea have got some of the bekistas boys coming over
> here in a bit. they'll give us a good sorting out!lol

Edited that for you.

Fly ticket holders out together,coach to the ground, then straight back after the match.
This way you don't have groups wandering around town all day long which is where a lot of the problems start.
The down side is freedom of movement for people,but if they only want to go and watch the match and not site seeing or causing trouble this should not be a problem for genuine fans.
They can't really control people who are already on holiday in Turkey, or go and buy black market tickets which is big business unfortunately.
The sad thing is, there are genuine fans who would like to go out and watch the match and not cause any trouble, but there is that element who will go just for the fight.
All of this because of a sport, stupid really. Now if it was basketball i could understand all this hassle :-D
