Supporters
The supporters create a great atmosphere with their Band Team (known as BandoESES) during the seasons as well. Besides BandoESES, there is another supporter group (known as KoreoESES) who are always creating very different and unique shows, with some beautiful choreographies for every single match at the stadium and away on the road. Eskisehirspor supporters are really different than others when it comes to supporting their club through 2nd and even 3rd divisions. They regard their old fashioned stadium as holy grounds and reject the idea that it be moved to the outskirts of the city for the modern one. Many other team's supporters envy them because of their passionate, obsessive and dominant atmosphere in the matches. But they gain recognition as one of the most fierce fanbases in Turkey and many respect them and call them as the "phenomenon" of the Turkish Football.Eskişehir Atatürk Stadium
