April 1 (Reuters) - Fenerbahce are set to vote on
whether they will go through with their threat of withdrawing
from the Super Lig on Tuesday, with the Turkish top-flight
club's future hanging in the balance.
In March, Fenerbahce said they would consider withdrawing
from the league after their players were attacked by Trabzonspor
fans during a match.
Trabzonspor supporters stormed the pitch and brawled with
security forces and Fenerbahce players after their team lost
3-2, the latest in a number of incidents that have dogged the
Turkish league that this season.
Fenerbahce will hold an Extraordinary General Assembly
Meeting on Tuesday, at which their members will vote on a motion
to withdraw the club from the league.
Fenerbahce, who won their 19th league title in 2014, are
second in the standings after 30 games - two points behind
Galatasaray. They are due to host Adana Demirspor on Wednesday.
