No football this weekend as Im off to Berlin for some sightseeing, parties and looking for freedom ;-). As such no Ingolstadt. Instead I treat you to a few photos from St Pauli Reserves away at Meppen SV. We tagged the trip out onto the back of Paderborn away on the Friday night and finished things up at Grand Hotel’s 4th Birthday Bash in Osnabruck.
Meppen’s ground is pretty smart with a nice open terrace for away fans, surrounded by trees. The weather didn’t really show it in its best light, as the rain fell in our beer and we used our outdoor gear to try and shelter lighters enough to smoke a cigarette. Apart from the odd fasch bellend, the locals were very friendly. Quite a few nice bits of streetart, including a very familiar letter S in some of the tags. A connection?
Rather like the culture shock of those first few games in the North-West Counties with FC, we were taken aback by the kindness of the staff at Meppen. Friendly stewards, friendly catering workers and barmaids bringing beer round the terrace for us too.
Meppen won the match deservedly in a very muddy affair, one goal to nil.

FCUM A.D. Established 2009. Yeah, I know what you are thinking, FC United of Manchester was established in 2005, not 2009. Well here Im talking about FCUM A.D., that is a blog (the very blog you are currently clicking about on) and some (but not all) of the activities documented within.
Whats it all about? Getting off your arse and doing something. Not watching the match in the pub, not even just turning up once in a while to the ground, but dedicating time to pushing things on a notch. Whether its knocking out fanzines, running radio shows, producing banners and choreos for matches or running around town late at night making the walls and lampposts look prettier with football club related stickers, paste ups, graffitis or tags.
The A.D. is short for Art Department, thats vague enough to incorporate plenty. This blog started out concentrating just on the stickers and streetart bit, but it likes to cover other things too. As the Germans would say "blick über den Tellerrand". Is it all Grade A? Probably not, but as Minor Threat sang "You tell me that I make no difference. At least I'm fuckin' trying. What the fuck have you done?" :-D
