Re: St Pauli

Sorry to bounce this, but St Pauli only go and win 3-0 away at top of the table Darmstadt! Could this still be on?!

What a performance. They will have to win the last 3 to put the pressure on but with 2 at home it's possible

Are Lazio the most hated club in Italian football for their nazi links ?

Re: St Pauli

I may be wrong, but I've always thought of Hertha as being the kind of place you probably could do that - one of the few grounds to not always sell out, capital city so no doubt fans from around the country living there, relatively starved of success. A little like the 'neutral' area alongside the away fans in Fulham, perhaps?

The kicker sonderheft is a fantastic read btw. It's a real shame nothing similar is produced here, as most countries have a similar pre season magazine

Hertha you’re definitely right about, there were quite a lot of Leverkusen fans in the home end when I went a few years back…. Also saw quite a few Bremen fans in the Hamburg end last season in Bremen colours with no visible agro, so think they must be more tolerant as a general rule.

...and here is James to pour his nasty little political scorn on a thread that wasn't looking for it. Cheers James!

Nasty?! 🤣🤣 Have you been on this forum before?! 🤣

What's 'nasty' about pointing it out?

Football fans are exploited, same at St Pauli. You can't justify €40 for a t-shirt can you?

Don't know about nasty, but small minded and pointless sounds about right. I'd assumed you were pissed when you posted it.

I was celebrating my birthday yesterday, and it was me that was pissed. Nasty was the wrong word - but I agree with the rest of your post.

As Harry says, it looks unlikely but it is just about possible. Some strange results in that league!

No, completely sober. Whats wrong with pointing it out? Football fans are ripped off across the board. This is exactly the kind of area a club could genuinely do something. Their home shirts only run for one season too I note.

Brentford offer the way forward in this respect:

Why can't we criticise this? People put the club on a pedestal but isn't this fair to point out? And I say that as someone who owns a St Pauli scarf but increasingly they seem to have a far less rebellious streak

Start a separate thread on it then. This thread was started six weeks ago and has been about the game of football until you tried to make it political.

Nothing, I suppose. It's just that posters like you and Sludge are forever hijacking threads to make some sort of political point. Sometimes people just want to discuss and enjoy things at face value.

This is a fair point Bob. Although the politics has already been mentioned by others

On this occasion, I agree and it's a fair point, my apologies. It annoys me when posts get overly political all the time and I haven't helped here.

Moving on, I think promotion is beyond their reach. HSV are four points clear and Darmstadt and Heidenheim can't be caught.

Shout out to Heidenheim btw, who gave never been in the bundesliga and were in the 5th tier until relatively recently.
