March/Train To Get To The HSV Ground
St.Pauli CSC worked together with the public transport authority to have a special train running
from the St.Pauli area to close to the HSV ground, holding about 1000 people. We'll
leave at the Knust venue at about 4.45 pm after having taken a big mob picture in the
yard outside the Knust and march down the street to the train station
STERNSCHANZE which will take about 5 to 10 minutes. TRAIN WILL LEAVE 5.15 pm SHARP!!!
and takes about 12 minutes.
When we get out of the train, shuttle buses will bring us directly to the ground.
If any do not fit in or are getting there late: take the train S11 to OTHMARSCHEN!!
The special train is defo the best way to get to the ground. Any getting there on different
routes, e.g. from Reeperbahn: don't go to the official train station STELLINGEN!!
All Celtic supporters should go to OTHMARSCHEN, that's a stop on the green lines S1 and S11.
After the match it will go back the same way.
For Those Without Tickets
Knust (the venue of the party), Jolly Roger, Raval, Weinbar St.Pauli etc. all show the match
After The Match
All the well known venues like Knust, Jolly Roger, Weinbar St.Pauli etc. will be open after the match.
Opening of FC St.Pauli Ground Millerntor
For those who want to have a look at our ground, take pictures etc., we'll open
the terrace of the south stand:
Wednesday: 1 pm til 5 pm
Thursday: 1 pm til 4 pm
The entrance will be just left of the club's pub and we'll have someone of St.Pauli CSC there to
answer questions etc.
For A Good Cause: The Match Day T-Shirt
We created a strictly limited t-shirt for this event. All proceeds go to the Fanräume ('Room for Fans')
initiative. The aim of the Fanräume project is to create more space for supporters initiatives
and the social project Fanladen http://www.stpauli-fanladen.de/english/. So this a good alternative
to the usual half-and-half scarf - hardly appropiate to have HSV and Celtic on one, isn't it? ;)
The shirt will be available at the venue Knust during the parties where the Fanräume initiative
will also be happy to answer any questions, sell other merchandise etc. and most likely at the
south stand during the opening hours (see above).
The Jolly Roger
The Jolly Roger is the main St.Pauli supporters pub. It's non-profit, all money goes into supporters projects.
It's located at Budapester Straße close to the Millerntor stadium and 5 minutes walk from Reeperbahn.
Opening hours: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 12 am/noon til the last guests leave, usually about 5 or 6 am ;)
Normal opening hours all other days, e.g. 8 pm on the Tuesday. Check out http://www.myspace.com/jollyrogerhh as well.
FC St.Pauli matches
We'll play away to Hansa Rostock on Monday, Nov 2, 8.15 pm and at home against Düsseldorf on Friday, Nov 6, 6 pm.
The home match against Düsseldorf is sold out!
If you would like to attend: The only way to get tickets is to find spares so ask around and check for
people offering some outside the ground. Please don't buy from touts that ask for much more than face value. Any
decent supporter would give it away at face value but wouldn't mind getting bought a beer. If you find anyone with
a spare season ticket: we don't have season books, but plastic cards so you'll have to go inside together as no one
would give it away (it's not replaceable).
If you got a ticket reserved by the Fanladen (btw: another reason to buy the t-shirt mentioned above ;) ):
Pick it up in time or if you know you won't take it contact the Fanladen ASAP as there is a long waiting list
and many fellow supporters would like to attend! Phone number of the Fanladen: +49 40 439 69 61.
Security and General Advises
The St.Pauli district is a party and red light area so you should take all the usual precautions such as
keeping money save and having a copy of your passport. Some of the more shady bars along the Reeperbahn
might try to fool you with the price of a drink, so if you really wanna go there order from a menu rather
than just ordering 'one beer' and never let any of the staff order a champagne on your expense. We have had
supporters with 600 Euro bills at lunch time in recent years - there are better ways of spending money.
It's not illegal to consume alcohol on the street in Hamburg, but since recently there's a complete ban
of glass bottles at the Reeperbahn and some of the streets and places just of the Reeperbahn. No problem
to drink alcohol from plastic bottles, though, and the ban does not apply to the areas further north and
south of the Reeperbahn such as where Jolly Roger etc. are.
Opening hours: there are no limits for the pubs and bars, but many will close rather early on work days.
There will be still enough bars open (almost) all night and all the St.Pauli/Celtic related places should
be bouncing til the morning. Ask us or in the hotels for further advise. Supermarkets in the St.Pauli area
are open every day.
HSV supporters: we don't expect large scale riots, but it's good to be careful. Their pubs are rather south
of the Reeperbahn. While it's no problem to walk there during the day, it's defo better to remain in groups and
rather avoid it on Wednesday night and especially after the match. Only very very few good places there
anyway, more expensive, touristy etc. Better stick to north of the Reeperbahn and you'll be very safe in the
places we recommend on the map.
We put together a google map of the relevant venues.
