I've got to admit I've not followed German football as much as I should, seeing as I'm someone who believes they set a top example for how English football should be.
I just came across this video and Aachen won me over;
Literally nothing more than that, but I have paid a bit more attention.
That St Pauli vid really does make them look like the perfect little club - thing is I'm not arsed about politics (ignorant I know but I'm seriously on the fence) so I don't know how relevant that is.
Aren't Bochum that side we wanted the North Korean from?
From a bit of reading up I've actually come to conclusion that I find Aachen to be very comparable to us too, watching that video you see of them against Bayern, that's a good 6 years old (I wasn't aware of this), they've got a new ground since then, I couldn't believe the ground appearance when I saw it; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Aachen,_Neuer_Tivoli,_innen.jpg Remind you of anywhere?
They're in the third tier next season too, surprising.
