March, 2011


Dear Beşiktaş Supporters,
First and foremost, I would like to thank our coaching staff, players and especially you, who did not leave us alone in this difficult journey, for taking Beşiktaş to its highest level in an UEFA tournament. We not only played the most matches during this tiresome campaign but scored the most goals in our 30-year European cups history.  Even though we have not gone as far as we had hoped, considering the fact that we are a newly put together team, I am sure we’ll do better the next time around.
Today we are going through a tough period, but as we have done many times in the past, we will get back on our feet soon and start playing like the real Beşiktaş we all want to see. I promise, with your unwavering support, we will take this club to a higher level both in Turkey and Europe next season.  
Dear Beşiktaş Supporters,
If you are going to be a world class team, the sportive success alone is not enough. You need to have the facilities to back it up. For this very reason, the renovation of our Inonu stadium is of great importance for us. Just like our Fulya Suleyman Seba Sports Complex, which nobody believed we could complete in such a short time, this new project will benefit us enormously. We’ve got the necessary permissions and will launch the construction in May.   Based on the built-operate- transfer concept, the new stadium will have seating capacity of 42,500. As I stated in our 2010 Ordinary Financial Meeting, this stadium will be a giant step towards our international recognition.
I also would like to give you another bit of good news. The building procedures of our Şan Ökten Sports Complex have been concluded and its construction is to start in coming months. 
Dear Beşiktaş Supporters,
If we stand united, there is nothing we cannot achieve, and one success will follow the other. With our never-ending love and passion for Beşiktaş, we’ve been honouring all our promises and commitments. No one should have second thoughts, my administration will continue to create lasting monuments for this great club of ours.    
Dear Beşiktaş Supporters,
As you all know, we will celebrate Beşiktaş’s 108th anniversary on March the 19th. To mark this special event, as Chairman Beşiktaş Jimnastik Club, I express my gratitude to all those who have contributed to our club in the past and send you my best wishes.  
With my deepest love and respect,
Yıldırım Demirören
Chairman Beşiktaş JK
