Yorkshire St Pauli

In 2010/11 a group of Yorkshire-based FC St Pauli fans found each other on the St. Pauli UK forum (http://stpaulifansuk.forumup.co.uk). They met for the first time on Friday 13th 2011, deciding to form an official fanclub in Yorkshire. So began Yorkshire St. Pauli! They used to meet up at various locations in Leeds and wider afield to watch internet streams of St Pauli games on a screen adorned with banners, flags and scarves. The football isn’t always great, but the main aim is to enjoy the football (and everything else surrounding it) amongst friends and likeminded people. This evolved into lots of folk wanting to also play football but hating the atmosphere of most typical football spaces.

Football for All

Then was born ‘Football For All’! Football for All runs every Sunday and is a space for people of all genders to play football in a friendly and non-competitive setting. It is welcoming to those seeking asylum and to those from any background.
