What other unique football clubs are there?

My Club for last 26 years. Been travelling from UK regularly during that time. Great Club, even though success and honours always elude them, and a great City. Whilst the 'New' Stadium looks impressive i much prefer the old Millerntor, ramdhackle, crumbling, proper football arena. Standing on the Nordkurve with all the headbangers was a real experience. Still, you cant stop progress and if they ever do get back to the Bundesliga(the only time ive experienced the Brown and Whites in such lofty company was a good many years ago, more used to Regionalliga and Zweite liga) at least the Stadium will look the biz.

Its wild how conditioned The media makes us Dont be racist Dont be facists Dont hate on The poor or immigrants Thats not left wing that should be basic humanity.

Former player, manager and director of St Pauli, Thomas Meggle, is now a BoD member at Dunfermline Athletic. He fronts a company involving 3 others that made a majority share holder bid for DAFC in 2021.

Another great video Sam. Keep up the good work 👏

Thanks for making this, very interesting!

St Pauli is the area the Beatles did a lot of their early work, and growing up

Hey man, I love your videos. In this video u walked throu my street, so sad i didnt see u ;D keep it up

Another amazing video sam love it keep up the good work also will you be going to falkirk vs Ayr united in the scottish cup just asking because you made a video on Darvel vs Falkirk?

Visited Germany with my wife and kids in summer 22 to see her sister and sister’s husbands family and the husband is a huge Hansa fan. He got us tickets to Hansa vs St. Pauli and it was the most insane football experience I’ve ever had! Especially since Hansa won 2-0 which included an outrageous Verhoek bicycle kick! Respect to St. Pauli and obviously their derby has its roots in political differences but honestly Hansa was a lovely area and most Germans are on the same page politically compared to where I am in the USA. Great video as always!

Great video and respect that you show clubs like st Pauli to the world!

I grew up in St. Pauli, went to college right next to the stadium and still race for St.Paulis cycling team. It's amazing to see that so many people are interested in such a small team but at the same time it's crazy to me that supporting basic human rights such as not having to face fascism is considered political

They came to the States back in 2018 and played my club Detroit City FC. one of the best soccer weekends I was ever part of. the club and the players were fantastic. the Milentoor is on my bucket list

A bunch of us saw matches there in 1991 and 1992 on the way back from Chelsea pre-season tours in Scandinavia. There was only seats on one side and terraces all round back then. Everybody was in black...everybody. We were made welcome and a fella called Dirk showed us around. First year, visited the Supporters Club and went up to see the Rote Flora and the protests / confrontations with the police. Other time, were invited to a birthday party held on a huge floating pontoon in the nearby docks. Every time a massive ship went past, a minute later we'd be clinging onto to all the beer and grub as the bow wave hit. lol. We later all piled up to the street off the Reeperbahn when reports than HSV fans were having a pop at a St. Pauli bar. Backed them off out of it with the help of a few off duty British squaddies. Love the football culture in Germany, something we've lost quite a lot of in England. Happy memories.

Great video m8. one quick note though: you wouldn't call the German second division Bunderliga Zwei but zweite Bundesliga (meaning second Bundesliga). just thought id let you know :)

Superb video again Sam👌🏻

there used to be a club up there where you filmed your intro. and the hertz tower, the other one you couldnt get in to, has been closed to the public for a good 20 years now.

Very interesting to see the stadium and the values that the club has. Good episode.

I went to the Milentoor before. Matchdays are mad, sometimes they have a concert before the games.

St. Pauli's sweetest footballing achievements are beating HSV and Bayern.

With an affiliated fangroup for St Pauli based near me in the UK, I absolutely need to visit here. Some cracking shots taken, especially in the ground and the Air raid shelter in the background. Fascinating stuff all round!

Was a huge Willie Pettigrew fan back in the 70's and recall he almost signed up for St Pauli. Not sure why it fell through but Motherwell were hoping for a big payday. So, I still keep an interest in St Pauli and your video was an excellent insight into the club and its history.

Great video as always. I wonder if you visit the match on sunday against Rostock? Would be so amazing if you actually got a ticket but I guess that´s almost impossible without being a club member. Anyways enjoy the rest of your time in Hamburg whether you will experience the derby atmosphere or not.

You did your research, great video mate!

Love the channel!!

Im a st Pauli local and I loved this video. Will you be here for the match against Hansa?

Terrific video, Sam

The WW2 Flak Tower has a club right behind the closed doors where you were standing. Used for concerts. Been there a couple of times.

Jackson Irvine (Australia) plays for St Pauli, so he'd have to be the only St Pauli player to ever play in a World Cup (Qatar 2022).

Travelled to Hamburg about 10 years ago to watch Celtic v HSV in the Europa League. Great city. If you were looking for a good panoramic view of the city there's a church next to the Rathaus in the city centre called St James. We climbed up the spire past the bell tower and what a view. 🍀☠️

I’ve been in the big bunker. It’s actually a gig venue I watched blossoms there. Remember thinking wtf is this place as I was walking towards it but there’s multiple rooms with raves/events on

i remember i went for a pre season friendly against stoke in 2018, paid 5€ for a ticketfor a really good game of football, a great atmosphere even for a pre season match

St Pauli have said they'll play Dunfermline in June at a pre season friendly today so aptly timed XD

Another great vlog

Celtic 🤝 St Pauli

It´s nice here mate. You realy understood what it`s all about. Respect mate

Great content

Going to watch Hertha Berlin in Saturday, looking forward to checking out the famous Olympicstadion!

Great video 👏

Today was announced dunfermline vs st pauli in the summer

Hi I'm going to Hamburg next week , what's the easiest stadium to get to using public transport St Pauli or Hamburg SV?

why do you call it a "WWII tower"? - it's basically a , in both languages btw (plus an anti-aircraft defense on the roof). Unfortunately it is too stable to simply be torn down, especially since it is in the middle of a residential area, but now the roof is at least completely covered in greenery and that looks really (relatively) cool

Dunfermline meant to be playing St Pauli in the summer hopefully we both get promotion

First Sentence says it all! Thank you 👍

Fantastic as always Sam ☘️

Top video

Lots of folks seem to think politics and football should be separate, as if being neutral towards hate crimes is good enough. As a Pars supporter I'm thrilled to have Thomas Meggle on board trying to instill the same club culture at Dunfermline. If we're anything like St Pauli in 10-20 years the city would undoubtedly change for the better.

in the st pauli district the beatles arrived to play in hamburg in 1960

Always wanted to visit st Pauli met plenty of fans over for Celtic games and always been great guys

Funny you post this video the same day St Pauli have announced they are coming to Scotland in June to play Dunfermline in a friendly

Also playing Dunfermline next pre season

I dont get livorno and st pauli football clubs……they are just for hipsters.

The Pars are getting a friendly against these guys, cannae wait.

Are you goin to the game st.pauli vs. Hansa Rostock?

Class, has to be on the bucket list for most fans to go there. Unique ground.

Club member who loves the club for what it stands for and for the often great atmosphere. But yes it’s kinda true it’s more often lifestyle and political surroundings than things football which drive the club. Think it has become more extreme now coz on one hand we have the less than mediocre football like a dwarf at the sport side of things and a merchandising giant which always try to use football as a vehicle to transport its political views. If football becomes too big, the message will maybe become too small, coz it may have to find its way pass all those merchandise and football related stuff. If the football becomes too bad, the club will relegated again to 3rd tier divisions and much needed money is missing for all those ongoing social projects. At the end of the day the club is way to big to perform such poorly when it comes to football , but there are supporters (like me) who still hope the club stays small and second tier that football and merch won’t become too dominant so it’s enough room to carry out social messages …. So FCSP finds itself in a weird place hard to balance out always between not wanting to lose its soul or overstretch merchandise and yuppie image or wanting to become a proper football team coz under normal circumstances ikes of Bochum, Mainz, Augsburg are no match for a club as big as FCSP

Excellent as always Sam 👏👏👏 Come on St.Pauli ✊

From my point of view here in Germany, FC St. Pauli sadly has become some sort of lifestyle brand within the last 10 or 20 years (at least outside of Hamburg) instead of a proper football club because of marketing reasons, documentaries on TV, KZfaq etc. Today, people from the upper middle class stick a skull & bones badge on the back of their SUV so that they can feel rebellious once again in their lifetime without really following the football team.

Good view of the city from the Elbphilarmonie.

btw, the guy from "the Dortmund family" spoke with a broad Brandenburg/Berlin accent 🤣 (appr. 500 kms in between)

Love it when the Dad says "Komm Jung ich zeig dir mal was" xD

Fersehenturm has been closed for at least 20 years,I did go to the top @1997-98,some great views were my reward.Liebe Hamburg.

The big tower you tried to get into is the TV tower, just about all German cities have them

There used to be a nightclub in that flak tower, dunno if it's still there.

OOOOOOOOFFFFF JESUS! hahaha love it! Been there myself its a great place with the ST.Pauli Bhoys!!!

For a good view of the city, try the St Michel Church

Bohemian FC Dublin Ireland have a link with St Pauli FC

00:58 some of these doors are actually doors to clubs in the bunker

Playing Dunfermline in June apparently.

It would be nice if you could come to the game HSV against St Pauli

I think AS Livorno is the real and only Leftwing Club in Italy. Sampdoria, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Chievo or As Roma maybe in some cases only!

Red Star is a soon-to-be Ligue 2 club which has similar values and history if you wanna visit

we love st pauli from celtic 🍀💚

St. Pauli won their first title relevant pro title (2. Bundesliga championship) yesterday. The Kiez is about to burn in celebration!

Would love you to go to Greece to panathinakos, Aek and Olimpiakos

Yes,finally.What a fantastic season, up to the wire too!I think all STP fans will agree that they will be one season wonders but they will have no end of fun coming back down again😂😂😂

You are a very smart guy mate

Parkway Drive the Australian rock band sponsor them.

Weird how the historic English churchman WILLIAM TYNDALL once got himself shipwrecked off of the shores of Hamburg at TINDAL.

St.Pauli is more politics than football. That sucks. Real football can be found elsewhere in Hamburg.

When Fashion scores against " that other mob".. ..

St. Pauli's doing good this season!

Nice one again sam, but surprised you didn't mention the ex club president Conny who was and is fighting for LGBT+ issues. I think what you said about Pauli being peoples 2nd team is pretty much true. I know fans from BvB, Schalke, Bremen Bielefeld, Frankfiurt, Kaiserslautern and they all say Pauli is their Nr. 2. Not for me but I do check their results. Who would be peoples 2nd team in England or Scotland.. I imagine for many that either Celtic or Rangers would be, but I dunno. Mine is Wimbledon ☺ in Scotland it's Greenock Morton✊As u can see, the smaller clubs

More about a WWII bunker building than St Pauli.

Westfalen Stadion well worth a visit young fella(hate to say it).

I live in Hamburg and if St. Pauli was not an extreme left-wing club, I would even support them.

Mai, 12th, 2024 and St. Pauli is back in league one.

Marketing tool more than a club. On board with the sentiments but I prefer a club like Union Berlin with the same political sentiments that don't use it as a marketing tool so gain capital.

We are not a kult. We are just different St.Pauli die einzige Möglichkeit

They look like a German equivalent of Dulwich Hamlet

gotta get yourself to a game next time!

Can't believe my club makes an appearance at 8:22 Not bad for a part time Irish League team

5:47 he didn't!!

Great post, always wanted to go there, Forza Sankt Pauli 🔵⚪🟤🔴

It’s a Flak Tower.

i can understand why Celtic have an affiliation with st Pauli....cause it looks like Parkhead.

Standing against racism and facism is not sanctimonious or hipsterish. My father was anti-nazi and anti-fascist - he was a pilot in the RAF during WW2. Woke means being aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues especially of racial and social injustice. How 'woke' has been used as an insult says more about the people saying that than anything else. I was in Hamburg for the G20 and it's a truly great city.

LOL@you thinking Liverpool are signing Bellingham. Zero chance.

Sorry mate. Bellingham isn’t going to Liverpool to play in the Conference League.

Hamburg❤⚓️🏴‍☠️⚓️ is a absolutely great city . Greetings from 🇬🇧❤️ UK.
