Trabzonspor Fanatic Makes a Furry Plea for Stadium Access

Trabzon, Turkey – January 31, 2025 – 11:09 AM: Evren Yolcu, a dedicated Trabzonspor supporter working at the local municipality, has taken his love for his feline companion, Tom, to new heights. Since adopting Tom at just 2 months old and adorning him in a custom-made Trabzonspor jersey and scarf, Yolcu has been parading his beloved cat around town. Despite their bond growing stronger with each passing day, Yolcu faces a heartbreaking dilemma—Tom is not allowed inside the stadium to watch the matches they enjoy together. This has prompted Yolcu to take matters into his own hands by plastering posters featuring Tom’s photo with the message, “When will I enter the stadium?” on street lamp posts, appealing for support.

The Rise of Tom: From a Local Sensation to an International Star

Thanks to Tom’s endearing appearances in Trabzonspor’s jersey launch commercial, the charming feline has captured the hearts of many, both locally and abroad. Tom’s videos have become a social media sensation, attracting a global following. Despite his newfound fame, Tom remains loyal to his owner, joining Yolcu in front of the TV screen to cheer on Trabzonspor during matches.

Yolcu’s plea for support: A Fan’s Unwavering Dedication

Yolcu’s deep connection with Tom has not gone unnoticed, with the duo garnering over 1.7 million views on their heartwarming videos. Yolcu expressed his attachment to Tom, stating, “Tom has become a part of our family. We have grown very fond of each other. I have raised him just like myself, making sure he is a true Trabzonspor fan. We do everything together, from eating and drinking to strolling in the streets. We even welcome new team signings together.” Despite their unique bond, Yolcu longs for the day when he can share the excitement of a live match at the stadium with Tom by his side.

The Quest to Watch Trabzonspor Matches Together: A Fan’s Hope

Dreaming of the day when he can watch a match at the stadium alongside Tom, Yolcu reminisced about the excitement of being invited to participate in Trabzonspor’s new jersey commercial. While they currently enjoy the games on large screens or at home, Yolcu’s ultimate wish is to watch a match live with Tom in tow. Repeatedly expressing this desire to Trabzonspor officials, Yolcu remains hopeful that his plea will be heard. He shared, “I hope they finally hear us. I am proud to be a fan and to have people around me show love for Tom. Even fans of rival teams are following and adoring Tom. It warms my heart to see how this love and interest can bring people together.”

A Cry for Support: Taking to the Streets to Make Their Voices Heard

In an effort to raise awareness about their plea to allow Tom into the stadium, Yolcu and his nephew designed posters to display in the city. Yolcu remains optimistic, saying, “I hope that Trabzonspor will hear our voices through your platform (DHA). Our followers and passersby are showing us support and flooding us with messages, eager to know the latest news. Hopefully, Trabzonspor will provide us with the response we need.” And with that, the campaign to bring Tom to the stadium continues, driven by the unwavering bond between a man and his beloved feline companion.
