A football fan of the Turkish side Denizlispor has reportedly rented a crane to watch his side play at home, having been penalised with a year-long stadium ban.

Images in BirGun, a Turkish daily newspaper, caught the fan on his cherry picker at a recent home fixture against Gaziantepspor.

This Denizlispor fan was banned from attending games for 1 year, so rented a crane to watch the match from above the stadium. Dedication, tbf. pic.twitter.com/gHJmFsm6EZ — Paddy Power (@paddypower) April 29, 2018

A Denizlispor fan who was given a 12-month ban from the stadium in Turkey, hired a crane to watch his side play this weekend ???????? pic.twitter.com/VN05YD72WQ — ODDSbible (@ODDSbible) April 29, 2018

Sadly for the fan, the crane was later dropped by local police forces.

Denizlispor seemed inspired at least – they won their match 5-0, a huge uptick in form following two draws and a loss.
