    Your CSC organiser should know or can find out. Quite a few of the CSC's coming over for the game on Saturday will pick them up then I reckon.

    I understand why people aren't going, but i would go if i wasn't abroad myself.

    Could walk out the front door later and get knocked over by a bus, can't live in fear.

    CELTIC have arranged for 10 buses from the centre of Istanbul to transport fans to and from Fenerbahce's stadium on Thursday evening.
    The buses are provided by the local municipal bus company and the service will be managed on site by the bus company staff and local Police. Fans are advised to follow the instruction of local Police at all times.
    Anyone planning to make their own way to and from the Stadium is advised to use local taxis following the advice supplied by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
    DO NOT USE THE METRO
    - Taxis from Taksim Square to the stadium will cost approximately 60-80 Turkish Lira(c. £20 at current ex rates) Travel time is depending on traffic on traffic but advice is that it will take at least one hour. Make sure the taxi metre is switched on when you set off.
    Google map of stadium HERE https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place...2!3m1!1s0x14cab870784d1389:0x2bf4921764859e70



    Buses will be available from Dolmabahce Palace parking area as highlighted in the photographs HERE http://cdn.celticfc.net/assets/downloads/IstanbulBuses.pdf


    The advice is that the journey time to the stadium by bus can take between 1 -3 hours dependent on traffic, so fans travelling on the buses should note this and plan accordingly.
    Once on the bus and the journey has commenced, police have advised that fans must not exit the bus during any part of the journey.
    Once at the Sukru SaracogluStadium, fans will be dropped at the visitors' turnstile entry points and are encouraged to enter immediately. The entrance is made up of a series of tunnels and barriers and could take some time to get everyone through.
    We are advised that there are no amenities in local area and advice is for fans to arrive at the Stadium at the time they plan to enter.
    After the match Celtic fans will be held back for a period of time expected to be around 30 minutes, buses will be available take fans to Taksim Square.
    There will be 10 buses available to fans for the return journey. Access will again be managed by local police who will bring them to exit gates at the visitors area. Please follow the directions of police.



    The schedule as outlined to us is as follows:

    Meeting Point: Dolmabahce Serail Parking area

    Pre-match (Thursday, December 10) :

    - 15:30 public buses of IETT will arrive at Dolmabahce Palace area and park in a row.

    - the first 4 buses will open the doors and take the guests in.

    - 16:00 the first 4 buses will depart with police traffic escort to the stadium.

    - 16:20 the second 4 buses will depart with police traffic escort to the stadium etc..

    At the stadium:
    - the arriving buses will drop off directly at the Celtic fans' tribune entrance.

    - the traffic police will take the buses to a parking place near to stadium.
    After match ends:

    - the fans have to wait approximately a minimum of 30 minutes before leaving the stadium.

    - the traffic police will take the buses from the parking area again to the guest tribune exit.

    - the buses will take Celtic fans to Taksim Square.
