Northern Cyprus football trip off
By Leo Leonidou


ENGLISH Football League One side Huddersfield Town have pulled the plug on their post-season trip to northern Cyprus. The cancellation of the four-day visit, which would have included a game against the Turkish Cypriot FA’s representative team, comes after the Greek Cypriot FA voiced their concerns to the English Football Association.

Peter Jackson and his squad were due to fly out 24 hours after their final League One game at Wrexham on Saturday May 7 and would have been based in Kyrenia.

Town Secretary Ann Hough told the Huddersfield Daily Examiner “we have received a number of communications since the proposed trip was announced and this is clearly a very sensitive issue.”

She added that “it was solely intended to be a recreational end-of-season trip, including one friendly match. While initial approval was sought and received from the Football League and the Football Association at this end, the Cypriot FA voiced concerns to our FA and we are acting on those. We have withdrawn from the trip because we do not want to cause offence to any party.”
Huddersfield Town did not wish to comment.



What a load of wankers they are in the ROC, this is the goodwill that you show by scare mongering or threatening people not to come to the north even for sports, i spit on the ROC and you can take the free health care and shove it up your arses.

Brother, do you know exactly what was said by the RoC? What if they simply made a point that this would alienate any GC from Huddersfield Town (although, I dont know how many they are...if they are any). RoC has no way of threatning Huddersfield Town with anything...so at the end of the day, its up to Huddersfield Town. Its not as if RoC could say they would push to throw Huddersfield Town out of the Champions League is it.

and the embargoes are not on Turkish Cypriots but on a breakaway illegal state of Turkey. Turkish Cypriots could come to the RoC and have the same freedoms as any other Cypriot citizen.

Dude you know exactley what happened and that is they said and done everything that is required to ensure they would change their minds and not go, the part about they would not comment speaks leaps and bounds.

There is no goodwill on the ROC side of things and people like me who are moderate tc that want unity end up being very pissed off, alienated and more sympathetic with the nationalist tc as they are not the ones fucking us over but the muppets at the head of ROC like that idiot tassos the terrorist turned leader who spawned the mother of all fuck ups the Akritas plan.

The freedom to vote? Currently TC living in the RoC do not have the same freedoms as GC in the RoC. Add to that all the unoffical prejudice against them and you claim holds about as much water as a sieve does.

Unofficial prejudice on who's behalf? Theres unofficial predjudice wherever you go...thats clutching at straws to add more to the argumant of partition.

Also, has there been an election since the borders opened, for TC to vote?

Also, when Arsenal planned a trip to Northern Cyprus about 15 years back...many of the Greek board members and staff threatend to quit the club and also pointed out they would be alienating a large amount of Arsenal fans. At the end of the day, I would not blame the Greek Cypriot people working at Arsenal for quitting and they simply gave Arsenal the information. They couldnt MAKE Arsenal cancel the tour. IT was Arsenal's choice after they found out about the history and implications more.

There is both offical and unoffical prejudice against TC living in the south. Your claims that we can go there and enjoy the same and full rights as GC living in the south is incorrect - but then accuracy has apparently never really mattered to you in the persuit of your agenda - as your statement that the UK told Turkey to intervene in 74 clearly showed.

Also, has there been an election since the borders opened, for TC to vote?

If there were presidential elections in the south tomorrow then TC living there would not be allowed to vote. That is a fact as I understand it. Am I wrong?

OK...lemme start a topic about Turkish Cypriot vote in Cyprus then...I wanna find out about this.
