As part of FC St. Pauli’s trip to Detroit in May 2018, I was delighted to host a panel discussion: “Detroit City FC and FC St. Pauli – A Different Kind of Football” at the Motor City Hotel & Casino.
In addition to the CEO of Detroit City FC, Sean Mann and St. Pauli President Oke Göttlich were also on the podium. Stefan Szymanski from the University of Michigan (author of Soccernomics), Jackie, a representative from DCFC’s Northern Guard Supporters, Christian Weiß from the FCSP partner Levi's and Ewald Lienen, Technical Director of FC St. Pauli.
The lovely people at the Fell In Love With A Girl podcast put together a recording of the event, you can listen to it here.
At
the end of the 2017/18 season FC St. Pauli travelled to the US for an end of
season tour. I was fortunate enough to tag along for the Detroit leg of the
trip. This was no corporate brand expansion tour, this trip was about
solidarity, forging international friendships and showing Trump that his brand
of fascism won't be tolerated. Read about it in detail here.
A podcast by Fell In Love With A Girl discussing the tour can be found here.
