Turkish fan gets around stadium ban by hiring a crane to watch his beloved team thrash rivals 5-0

A FOOTBALL fan managed to get around his stadium ban... by hiring a CRANE to watch his team from outside the ground.

The die-hard Denizlispor  supporter is serving a one-year suspension from entering the stadium in Turkey.

So he rented a cherry-picker instead, taking in the clash from a great height, with an astonishing view.

The fan celebrated atop the crane during the recent game against Gaziantepspor, before police eventually intervened.

After a fair old while dangling mid-air, the cops arrived to lower the crane and force him away from the ground.

But the supporter didn't leave in low spirits.

After all, the Turkish second-tier side won the game 5-0, despite battling relegation.

Denizlispor sit 15th in the 18-team TFF 1 League, just three points above the drop zone.

But the thumping win over bottom-placed Gaziantepspor not only boosted their points tally but their goal difference.

Incredibly, basement-boys Gaziantepspor have just ONE point from their 33 games, to sit 37 points adrift of safety.
