Spotted in town (Hamburg)
a few nice stickers and paste-ups spotted in and around St Pauli. Should buy a little time, whilst I try to make a match report from Sunday’s “spectacular”…
For those of you into bicycles, Suicycle (featured on one of the stickers and from St Pauli) do really nice frames. Including this lovely flame-grilled badboy.
Back to football soon I promise!

Re-up on stickers! There are still a whole stack of FC stickers available (hopefully) at the DF stall. All to be taken in return for a bit of change towards the DF. Stick with FC!

St Pauli v Hamburger SV is on Sunday. With that in mind, who are a few related pics. A couple of FC stickers outside the Millerntor Stadium and a couple of FC and St Pauli stickers helping cover up Chosen Few attempts. Gotta keep the place tidy after all!

Little football fan dude. Eddings on name tag sticker (I think the leftovers from a sticker I mucked up). I think he’s stuck up on the canal path somewhere now. FC!
-
More stickers and street art spotted in Athens and the nearby islands. In order (hopefully) the photos are for Iraklis (twice), AEK, Aris (twice) and Olympiakos. The bulldog with muscles is a bit disturbing but each to their own! ;-)
-
A few snaps of stickers relating to Panathanaikos which I took in Athens and on the islands. Some whether due to design or content are more appealing than others. Gate 13 refers to the old home end, however at the new stadium the actual gate 13 doesnt house the hardcore anymore and pretty much every fangroup will use the number 13.

Apolz for the terrible lighting but before I sneak off to warmer climes for a bit, I thought I’d post a close up (ish) of the new FC United stickers I picked up earlier in the week. Fine stuff, I hope you agree. They are ever so slightly smaller than postcard size and should be available to residents of Manchester next time Im over for a match.
Just in case the mix of graffiti font and awful flash glare makes it impossible to read whats on the sticker it says “Reclaim your terrace! Supporters not Sky Subscribers!”. With Sky now present even in Germany and meddling happily with kick off times, I felt the topic would appeal to all active fans regardless of nation or club.
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
Supporters not Consumers.
