du Nord, January 31, 2006
-We got a great email from fab reader Group Of Cake last night. He is a fan of the team that is quickly becoming du Nord's new favorite team, St Pauli! He sent us links to not only the teams homepage, which is very cool and has a few things written in English - like a nice explanation of the teams origins and stadium history - but also to a New York Times story on the city of Hamburg (where St Pauli is located) that features a picture of an apartment building draped in a huge banner that reads "Eat The Rich"! Glory Glory St Pauli! Put your hands up for Hamburg, a lovely city! GOC also is a big fan of two other German clubs: "Kaiserlautern (who have the great FCK emblem on their jerseys) and punk rock Munchen 1860." In actual soccer news, St Pauli sits in 3rd place (top 2 get promoted) of the Regionalia (third) Division. If you remember a few years back, our own Cory Gibbs played for St Pauli, but they got relegated 2 years in a row. Ouch! Hopefully we will hear more St Pauli, Kaiserlautern, and 1860 goodies
