RED STAR FC 93

Red Star is one of the oldest football clubs in France having been founded by Jules Rimet (yes, that Jules Rimet!) at the end of the 19th Century. Up until recently they were based at the fine old Stade Bauer. Of late the club has slipped down the leagues owing mainly to off-field, i.e. financial, problems with things getting so bad that they now play in a Paris feeder league.

One of my life's ambitions is to buy the club and develop it into a real footballing powerhouse - Paris certainly could do with one. Alas, my funds are as yet lacking a few millions but you never know! Besides, I wouldn't have to own the whole thing - just having a hand in restoring the club to its rightful place would be an amazing achievement.

Anyway, back in the real world... You can visit an unofficial fan website here http://www.allezredstar.com The site looks a little ropey but is regularly maintained, contains a ton of historical info and even has an English language section reflecting the wide fan-base the club enjoys.
