FC St. Pauli

Piratas del Sur is a St Pauli supporters club formed in 2006 by a few Argentinians interested in football, politics, arts and music. Its members go to games whenever they can, and when they are not in Hamburg they keep themselves busy promoting the club values back home in Argentina.

It was 2008 when Talco came to St. Pauli for the first time, the beginning of an German-Italian football and punk rock relationship. In 2009 Talco released the first joint single with the Fanräume, and in 2010 they played at the centenary festival. A host of smaller encounters at all manner of events were to follow. The band are back at the Millerntor for Sunday's game against Holstein Kiel and after the final whistle they'll be playing a free concert in the fan rooms. We spoked to lead singer Dema about the connection to St. Pauli, the future of the game, and the lads' new album.

The return of ‘Weisse Rose’! Two years since our last issue, to mark six years of Yorkshire St. Pauli, the issue returns with 35 pages of everything we at YSP love.
