Our guest is Natxo Parra, co-author of St Pauli: Another Football is Possible. We discuss the club’s transition from being a small Hamburg side to ‘cult club’. When did this happen and why? We look at some of the key moments in the activist history of St. Pauli‘s fanbase.
How does St. Pauli’s ethos survive in an era of mass commercialisation and what influence has the club had overseas?
We also see if any comparisons can be drawn between what happened at St. Pauli and non-league football in England and at lower league clubs in Catalonia, where Natxo is from.
