History:
The Hype with St. Pauli started in the last 1980ties and 1990ties, when the (strong in Hamburg) left wing scene became more interested in football.
The Ultra-movement started with Passanten 1996.
Carpe Diem was a Co-founder of the Ultras Sankt Pauli 2002.
Other active groups were/are Mafia and New Kids.
New Kids at some point stole all the flags from Kiel Ultras.
But USP & the Club didn´t want this (more violent) Movement and decided to block them from the south stand.
Today ex-NKSP, Warriorz and others form the new Group Rotsport, which is more a Hool group.
