So you cheer for St. Pauli over Bayern?


Edit: That's a joke if course.

St. Pauli is probably my second favorite team after Bayern in Germany. I'm friends with the manager of St. Pauli and the atmosphere in the stadium is great, I was there many times. Did you know that Bayern rescued St. Pauli when they were almost broke, by playing a game against them and letting them have the proceeds of the game?

No, I didn't know that!

In the 2001/2002 season FC St. Pauli again failed to maintain its position in the top league. Even the Bundesliga's second division proved a slippery slope, so that St.Pauli shortly plummeted into the Regional League North. In both sporting and financial terms, the club had hit an all-time low. The campaign that followed was perhaps a unique happening in the whole history of German football. St.Pauli's fans got together and demonstrated, throughout Germany, in support of the 'Save St.Pauli Campaign'. 'Save St.Pauli' T-shirts were printed (they are still for sale at St.Pauli's fan shop today), the slogan 'Drink for St. Pauli' was commonly heard on the Reeperbahn and – wait for it – FC Bayern München gave itself the honour of another match, in a friendly game against FC St.Pauli played at the Millerntor stadium. Before the start of the game Uli Hoeness ran around the pitch wearing a Save St.Pauli T-shirt, and never had the stadium resounded to such tumultuous applause.
