FC St Pauli of Hamburg – football for the people

Excellent report from Trans World Sports on the anarchists’ fave football club, St Pauli. There’s an element of “middle class trendies slumming it” here, but ultimately this is how a football club should be run, no matter how successful (or not) it is.

And with Bayern Munich progressing to the semi-finals of the European Cup, it shows that the affordable ticket prices and realistic wages of German soccer are not necessarily an obstacle to success. We in England have so much to learn.

Though we could probably swerve the earrings and biker jackets.
