We are St.Pauli-On-Sea a Southend based FC St.Pauli supporters group dedicated to inclusivity, equality, standing against all forms of fascism and discrimination and raising money for fantastic charities in our local community and beyond.

We are travelling to Kent to take on Independent Maidstone United Supporters Club in an 11 a side fixture as part of our projects in January in support of Football V Homophobia.

Football v Homophobia exists to challenge discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression at all levels in football. As an international initiative FvH engages in campaigning, education, advice and guidance, research, policy consultation and capacity building to:

Make existing football structures safe, welcoming and inclusive for LGBTI people

Create opportunities and promote engagement of LGBTI people in football at all levels and in all forms

Improve the representation and visibility of LGBTI people throughout football

To realise the potential of football in society as a tool to create positive change
