Hamburg football knowledge required

My father (85) is a big armchair supporter of FC St. Pauli. We may be visiting Hamburg this year and, while we know there's not much chance of getting an actual match ticket, he'd love some local flavour. Is anyone aware of a pub or caff in Hamburg where a non-German-speaking old man could watch a match on TV with local fans and not get mocked for being a tourist or given a "prove you're a REAL fan" trivia grilling?

Be aware of summer break between German soccer seasons.

I would write to the club directly if they can handle an entry to an old fan coming from far away. They have a big heart. They can help with a Fan-Kneipe if they cannot fulfill your wish.

Once I worked as a manager for a company which became main and dress sponsor of FC St. Pauli around year 2002, just because our marketing director Robert was such a huge fan. He registered his son as club member 1 day after his birth.
