Spotted in town (Hamburg):
Streetart seen last weekend on the way to the 10th Birthday Bash of Ultrà Sankt Pauli. Speaking of which, it was a great party. One of those spit roast pigs like in Asterix, seitan burgers for us fussy eaters, a fine music programme of bands, hiphop, ska, soul and late on, electro, meeting Oi back over from FCUM, free headshaves off the Skinheads and a new scarf to boot. Oh and pyrotechnics, masses of pyrotechnics. :-)
Photos of the whole thing can be found here.

Istanbul Street Art:
As part of this I got the chance to spend a bit of time in the wonderful city of Istanbul. A chance to discuss fan topics, but also to see the city in this particular case street art and graffitis. Including a yellow fist not too dissimilar to the ones in Berlin. -
Yes we do…. <3

Ha! Wandering around St Pauli on Saturday and there are Angry Worms everywhere! Reminds me of the computer game…

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!

Spotted in town (Hamburg):
Or buying time in between all the traveling to finish my match report for Frankfurt ;-)
A beautiful winters day, coupled with some time off, meant I got to have a stroll along the harbour front on Monday. A few sights…
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
