Sunday 28th April 2013 (27).
All part of a trip to Hamburg to watch the 'kult' club St Pauli. 30,000 crowd, mostly standing and chanting throughout. Drinking beer on the terraces, as many girls as boys, and the heady smell of dope permeating everywhere on a lovely sunny day.
Simply an awesome experience. I was even impressed by the Hertha fans - especially the wave effect swaying.
I have been watching live top quality Football in the UK since 1975 - that is 38 years now - I watch a lot and the Mighty Irons are more atmospheric than most - we could learn something from these people. It was easy to get a drink. Everybody was happy (except when Hertha scored 2 goals in the last minutes - but you can forgive that). They all sang song after song - often in English! Girls mingled with boys and they were all young - not middle aged. The tickets were affordable. The game was good quality - full of drama. And... they lay on a huge drinking and sex district on the doorstep of the ground. Amazing.
My companion throughout was Mark Stuart-Bourne.
We shared a beer or two.
I declined the best blowjob in the world for 30 Euros. I will never know if it was.
Wunderbar.
