We have another special episode for you this week! Luke & Trev sat down with Shawn from the East River Pirates, a St. Pauli fan group from New York. We had a great chat about how to watch the matches with such a big time difference, visiting Hamburg, gentrification, and more! A big thank you to Shawn for being so nice and giving us her time as well as Dave (from Swearing At Motorists) for giving access to the Levis box at the Millerntor.
The Wankers have been all over the place lately, but one place in particular, is East River Bar watching the 2nd division Bundesliga team, FC St. Pauli with the East River Pirates. At the helm of the official supporters' group, Shawn and Sören (Andrea never got that name right), who graciously came to share a little bit of what their club means to them. Anti-fascist, very german and a little punk rock, FC St. Pauli supporters were born in direct opposition to growing nazi sentiment in Europe in the 80s. Today, the list for season tickets is thousands long, and they boast the most female supporters across European soccer. Some of the most welcoming soccer fans in the city, they use their fandom for good. Give a listen, and drop by East River Bar to check out their core beliefs, as well as their supporters club family they work hard to foster. And as always, you've got subs if you need 'em.
Noch ein bisschen was zeitloses zum Hören für die Winterpause: Die East River Pirates sind ein Fanclub des FCSP in New York und feierten kürzlich ihr zehnjähriges Bestehen. Miriam, Shawn und Martin standen für Maik zum Skype-Interview bereit (Teil 1 auf Deutsch, Teil 2 auf Englisch), mittendrin gibt es auch noch eine etwa fünf Minuten lange Audiodatei von der Feier selbst. Viel Spaß!

We sit and digest the events of the FC St. Pauli tour of the United States with our friends and travelling companions author Nick Davidson, author of “Pirates, Punks and Politics” and East River Pirates supporters club member Shawn (AKA #femaleshawn). It’s still kind of surreal that it all happened... ☠️⚓️
