We love you, we love you, we love you, and where you play we follow, we follow, we follow, ’cause we support Sankt Pauli – Sankt Pauli, Sankt Pauli, and that’s the way we like it – we like it, we like it, Ooooohhhhhh – Oooohhhhhh”
There is no big wow-effect if you come in the stadium and you won’t think: jeeesus, this is huuuuge! No, the Millerntor is simple and cult. Here I lived through cheers to black despair, from being stunned till my eyes were filled with tears. The fans are unique! The football players step in the arena supported by AC/DC’s “Hells Bells”, the people sing and dance everywhere and show the brown and white colors of their flags.
That moment gives me goosebumps. Old-punks and alternatives, students and businessmen come together singing the same songs. Not only is the game important but also the atmosphere. Whether you come just for a beer (of course Astra € 3.50) or jumping and singing with the Ultra Sankt Pauli Fans in the south stand.
If FC Sankt Pauli scores, Blur’s “Song 2” is the song of the moment. If they lose the game, there is only one sentence in the air: “As a fan of St. Pauli you need to be suffering!” and singing goes on: Oooooooooooooolé, forza Sankt Pauli!
BTW: in summer (mid Jun-mid Aug): Movienights at Millerntor opens: 20:30, starts: 21:30 – after sunset. Prices are affordable: movie € 8, Astra € 3.50 & popcorn € 1.50.
