North Road! 7.5 years ago, more precisely in 2003, we first used the now widespread Nordkuve logo. From the very beginning we wanted to offer you not only clothes, which corresponds to our idea of street wear for the curve, but to communicate that the values and work that our curve is again a unit.
was into the North and is for us a platform to unite as many Schalke. After moving to the Arena, which is established sporting success and the rapid rise of the audience, we have always missed the team spirit and a "curve-consensus". To date, it must be honest we are, has not changed this state. We will do something so that our curve does not continue on the site. We want to have the Schalke in the northern curve similar ideas about Schalke and football as we bring together give, as our ideas of the new generation of the north curve.
Numerous actions have proven in recent years that there is a deep desire for the "we-feeling" there. Otherwise it would have been no impressive Corteos by Bochum and Dortmund, and no Derby Einsingen in the GAC.
Today, in early 2011, it is time to ignite the next stage to continue to grow together. To achieve this We have developed a concept which we will introduce below.
Anyone who counts in the northern curve has its own philosophy, its own values and ideas that he represents in this and represents. In this case, like most of our attitudes are similar even. So why do not we combine the strengths of all who identify with the same thing in order to achieve our common objectives more effectively?
The foundation of our concept "Forward North Road!" Is a self-understanding and commitment to values and rules that we consider the development of our curve as important. Then we want to establish a well-connected community. It does not matter if you already active in a group or are a fan club or ride alone to the football.
Our concern is that the Schalke its northern curve, which are consistent with our self-understanding, form a unit in order to reach as common anymore. Stop that live side by side!
Imagine what we can achieve together if we all think the same Schalke tangible and together negotiable!
Our mission is not carved in stone for eternity. Sees it as a basis for the coming years. Anyone who is the project "North forward curve," is followed, given the opportunity this project to design with. What we do together on the legs, is mainly because how much you brings!
Organizationally it seems that everyone who identifies with our philosophy that we should stand with his name this season and a kind of card is replaced, which proves this. In addition, a that also added to a mailing list to be supplied with current information. We also plan events to fanrelevanten common issues and away games, to name just a few actions.
The info sheet that we have sometimes connected with the sale of Nordkurve articles distributed to you, appeal to you already, the northern curve clothes to wear a particular consciousness. Through your commitment to self understanding, we assume that you fulfill your Nordkurve wearing clothes with that awareness. Please respect that we do not sell clothing in the future from the north curve collection only to holders of season tickets!
The purchase of season tickets should not be equated with a membership!
conclude, we want that "North bend forward," not in competition with SFCV is. On the contrary, at senior level between all Schalke fan organizations already a very good networking and mutual respect. That was not always so, but it shows where the path may lead in future!
Our promise:
That document you should clarify what values and beliefs behind are "forward curve north".
first For a free curve
We advocate free for a curve that is not over-regulated by strict rules and prohibitions. In important decisions Fans and Ultras are included.
bans Tifo material we reject as well as applications for approval of banners and choreography. We are committed to ensuring that such stylistic elements are allowed and the core switch is left in the North stand, which content is transported.
second Tifo Tifo
material material any means for us is an important part of living curve. Each Schalke, who with a flag or double holder decorates our curve, deserve our respect for his commitment.
As part of choreography, it is normal that the whole curve is included. Here, we make sure that is handled with care with the material.
third Goals in the stadium
We stand for a vocal support of our association. Our songs are our love commitment to our organization, with just these songs, we express our passion and the pride of being from Schalke. In addition to the volume, also plays an important role creativity of our songs transported to these same passion through songs.
We emphasize the fact, sing the love of our club and over again with new songs. It is important to us that we will copy any songs that are sung in other German states. The north curve must have their own style!
copied countless times stuff like the "Humba" is for us the question!
In our turn we shall of course a scarf to visually show our solidarity with our club. Of course, the curve should shine as often as possible in the team colors blue and white.
4th Our commitment to S04 eV
FC Schalke 04 is one of only eight clubs from the Bundesliga, which has the legal form of "membership organization". All other clubs in the first Bundesliga have now outsourced their licensing department of the main players association and converted into a limited or AG. We are especially proud that our association is a eV continue and will use our utmost to ensure that this remains so.
The legal status of "registered association" gives each member the opportunity for the development and direction of the association to influence and values such as to preserve the social responsibility of an association. Profit maximization and profit-oriented thinking (see Hopp Hoffenheim) do not match our understanding of a football club. The argument that you keep up with competitors and go with the times, we shall not leave.
5th Pyrotechnics
We are committed to pyrotechnics and responsible use of pyrotechnics. We love the pyrotechnics as we love our fence flags, choreography and songs. Flares and the bright colors of the smoke are an integral part of fan culture. For us, pyrotechnics a means to create public sentiment, some of the oft-quoted Mediterranean atmosphere!
pyrotechnics accompanied by responsibility. We are aware of the risks inherent in the use of pyrotechnics with it. With responsible and reasonable use of these risks are, however, to a minimum reduced. What is not
are firecrackers, crackers and other crackers. These things are small and mean, because nobody is prepared for the blow. Pyrotechnics belongs in the hands, by no means in the air and possibly not on the floor. Signal-Munitions ("tracer") is as taboo as the "disposal" of Bengal fires in the interior, let's pitch or in neighboring blocks.
6th
solidarity is not just the media reports of declining moral courage and an ever-increasing elbow society in which everyone is even on the next. Many of us feel it in everyday life, whether at work or in school.
the North stand is different. We support and help each other. For each Schalke there should be a matter of course, other circuit core to help in difficult situations, because only together we are strong.
7th Materialklau
Not just since the ultra-movement has taken hold in the German pluck curves to each other's supporters scarves, robes, T-shirts or flags. We remember only too happy to the ritual in the old block 5, as the royal blue hunter-gatherers climbing up to the speaker pole and their prey, the yelling of the North stand solemnly lit. Offerings to the god of football, often flaring while the speakers are with ab. Back then no one would have thought to complain somewhere or blame this phenomenon of a group in the shoes, it was simply this!
however, should be respected, that the composition in the curves and in the stands has changed over the years. Onlookers are so taboo!
We even carry our stuff with pride and know that these are prized trophies for other fan groups. It is therefore important to be vigilant! Seeing our own colors in the hands of the enemy as we feel great shame.
fence fans are for us the pride of every class and come to us has always been a great Importance. The loss of one's own fence banner leads inevitably to the end of the group.
8th Football must be affordable
We are committed to adequate affordable tickets (standing) for home and visiting fans. General Admission tickets must be offered in the price well below 20 € to financially not so well-off football fans visiting the stadium still allow a regular basis. In our view, should not be rotated further to the price spiral. No star is worth it to bleed to fans or even excluded. We are committed to ensuring that our club of his social responsibilities. Profit maximization at the expense of loyal fans and members are not sustainable approach for a football club.
9th We deal with the police
police operations are critical of the football, because of many negative experiences. This does not mean that all measures are not justified.
Based on our experience, we clarify an important issue, as many Schalke on the rights granted to all citizens.
In addition, there are some things we can do as a community. We think it's the least to pay attention to your neighbor and to show solidarity in the event of unjustified police action by peaceful means with the stakeholders.
10.Politik
A few words about policy. The slogan "Football without politics" is hackneyed and stupid. Much of what we do is political in any way. We are constantly Fanpolitik, security policy, organization policy, etc. in touch and make it our business with these issues. What
our view has no place in the curve is not party policy. Even conservative, safety-oriented thinking is at odds with a free curve.
Racist slogans we tolerate under any circumstances. Also, we will not allow the North stand is being abused for such purposes! Undesirable are also garments for brands such as Thor Steinar, Eric & Sons, etc..
11. Alcohol and other drugs
Each of us is a free man and can decide for themselves whether and if so how much alcohol or other drugs he or she consumes.
However, remember that we represent in games of FC Schalke 04 our curve and our club. Nobody can our organization and our curve worthily represented when rotzevoll babbling staggers through the area or shoot with other drugs.
We therefore appeal to your reason and your interest in supporting Schalke. Those who do not feel it has and soccer links in the first place with booze and drug excesses, should the project forward Nordkurve "abstain.
