Their supporters are mostly antifa and punks. They're not exactly a great team but they're really interesting.

wikipedia might be a good start - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_St._Pauli

FC St. Pauli enjoys a certain notoriety for the character of its supporters: most of the team's fans regard themselves as anti-racist, anti-fascist and anti-sexist, and this has on occasion brought them into conflict with neo-Nazis and hooligans at away games. The organization has taken up an outspoken stance against racism, fascism, sexism, and homophobia and has embodied this position in its constitution. Team supporters traditionally participate in demonstrations in the Hamburg district of St. Pauli, including those over squatting or low-income housing such as the Hafenstraße and Bambule. The centre of fan activity is the Fanladen St. Pauli.
The club prides itself on having have the largest number of female fans in all of German football. In 2002, advertisements for the men's magazine Maxim were removed from the team's stadium in response to fan protests over the sexist depictions of women in the ads.
St. Pauli is also a worldwide symbol for punk and related subcultures. The unofficial Totenkopf logo and the team's brown and white football jerseys have often been worn by international artists such as Asian Dub Foundation. Turbonegro recorded a special version of their song "I Got Erection" with re-worked German lyrics for St Pauli. KMFDM frontman and Hamburg native Sascha Konietzko is a recognizable St. Pauli fan, even at one point placing a huge picture of a fist smashing a swastika on his band's main page with the caption St. Pauli Fans gegen Rechts! (St. Pauli fans against Nazis) underneath it. One of the most notable supporters and sponsors is Andrew Eldritch, lead singer of band The Sisters of Mercy. On his latest tour, Sisters Bite The Silver Bullet in 2006, Eldritch wore the famous Totenkopf shirt.
Home fixtures at the Millerntor average greater attendance than any other team in the German third division, and often exceed turnouts for second division teams. St. Pauli can also boast more season ticket holders than many Bundesliga teams. One study recently estimated that the team has roughly 11 million fans worldwide, making the club one of the widely recognized German sides. There are more than 100 registered fan clubs, many of them outside Germany.
As well, St. Pauli are also known for their close links with other clubs, and enjoy a particularly close friendship with Celtic.

St.Pauli are a 2nd division football club from Hamburg in the north of Germany.They pull their support from the massive anti fascist punk/skinhead scene in the city and further afield.Travelling support are always made welcome in the various clubs they have around the city.Runnin' Riot have played in the St. Pauli club to a great anti fa crowd of over 200 skins/punks.I totally recommend this trip to anyone who has an interest in football and has anti fascist views.You will not be disappointed.

I'd be interested in both of those matches, depending on free time. I'm still annoyed that the season in Germany hadn't started when I was in Berlin, I wanted to go see a football match!
