Galatasaray European (Taksim district)
Fenerbahce Asian (Kadikoy district)
Besiktas European (Besiktas district)
Istanbulspor European (Zeytinburnu district)

It's based on location of their stadia.

Does the location of the stadium differ from the Historical location of the team then ?

Also do teams generally draw support from these regions (ie) From which area of the community does each team have it's fan base.

(Ie) In London, West Ham (east end / Essex) Chelsea (West London / south & s/w home counties etc ) Arsenal (North London / NW home counties ) Spurs North London / NE Home counties ) etc
Manchester City ( Manchester ) Man Utd ( hong kong ) etc

@apw

You took the words out of my mouth (well, keyboard) re whether each Istanbul team has a 'traditional' following. But I wouldn't have thought of your Man u quip (lol); don't forget that suburb of Manchester, Thailand, where apparetnyl there is a temple in which beckham is worshipped as a god.

Fenerbahçe is located on Asian and the others are on European side.
Atatürk Olympiyat Stadium is also in Europe.
80% of the fans in all over Turkey are a fan of either Besiktas, Fenerbahçe, or Galatasaray.
There is no away games for them, since their fans always are much more than the home team's crowd. Only Trabzon fans may overpower them at home.
Other teams can play to a sold-out stadium at home only if they are playing one of these three Istanbul teams.
