Hi All

I go to Icmeler on 21st September and can't wait as it's our first time to Turkey and think we've picked best place to start, but wandered which bars, if any, will have live rugby on big screen? Some bars over here wont show it if football on and dont want to miss my Tigers!!!
:D

The Turkish lads like their football and as this will be a busy time period for Euro Cup - Premiership - Turkish League it will be differcult to find English Rugby on the TV screens.

Great answer Billyjo , more effort and committment in 5 mins compared to 90 mins with the prima donnas !

you signed a winger of ours Gareth Raynor a few years ago - union didnt work for him - came back to league and is still astar - sure we ll both find a rugby playing bar .

i am a rugby fanatic and in all the times i have been to Icmeler i have never missed a game .The sports bar under the Devamli are always ready to help out with a match i believe they have more than one satellite receiver and there are many more bars that will show rugby including Vinces
