A side with no right wingers.: Hamburg's St Pauli is not just supported by anarchists, punks and prostitutes. They are part of the fabric of the club itself. And now they are in the semi finals of the German Cup. A team that all of us here on SpoFi should get behind.
The quarter final result (played after the article was published)was a 3-1 win for St Pauli over Werder Bremen, on a pitch covered in snow.

Maybe you want to check out BlogZilla's mysoginistic rantings over in the Gracie thread before you dub SpoFi the bastion of all things liberal.

I fell for this team when I saw their black Jack Daniels' sponsored kit Not to mention their Stadium's location near Hamburg's red light/party district.

“He’s a homosexual, sure; he’s an actor and runs theatres and a couple of gay bars here in the St Pauli district, but he’s not a transvestite." That's good enough for me!

Don't forget the homosexuals.

I've been aware of St Pauli for a while now, and wanted an opportunity to post something about them. When their physio (a few years ago) wanted to go and work in developing countries, the club management gave him fully paid leave. And the brown kit coupled with the jolly roger just about says it all.
