fence flags in the upper tier Few people in the north curve kept it hidden, that the last home match against Hamburger SV to a tangible Auseindersetzung at Schalke in the upper tier was. The cause of the dispute was a fence flag more precisely, those thought to the
Charly Neumann.
The current roof damage, there was a strong air flow inside the arena, so that the fence flag was blown up several times and the spectators who sat directly behind the flag, took a brief moment of vision. Of course it is annoying, but no drama because it is preventable by the person who sits behind the flag, just put the arm on the balustrade sets and can counteract the high drifts. Sorry, had two spectators who were sitting behind the flag Charly no interest. wanted to fix
As two members of the flag with us other tape, the two Schalke threatened to tear the flag and throw in the lower tier, if we would not remove it. Furthermore, they complained that by fence flags them the means taken to bring their own beer on the balustrade. To avoid the risks of strenuous arguments, the flag was temporarily removed by us, yet it was clear to us that the flag at half-time break would be hung up again. The rest we would use to explain the Schalke sitting there on the importance of this and other fence flags. Because these individuals had no interest, and sought instead the non-verbal confrontation at which they subjected to eventually lose out. However, we regret that It had to come to that.
In no case however, we will yield to the demands and renounce fence flags on the upper level. Fence Flags have been among
several decades a fixture of the fan scene. Many clubs and groups have a fence banner and thus show that they are present in the stadium and stand behind their club. Can you wander the view through the curve, telling fence fans a lot about the composition and history of the fan scene. Nor should any Schalke throw flags on the fence around him a watchful eye so that they can not be captured by opposing fans, or Ultras. This law only applies
for fence flags, not a group or a fan club represent, as it is on the memory flag for Charly Neumann, for example, the case finally Charly was no icon of a group, but the entire fan scene. Unfortunately, we were the last home game shows that traditions such as the "flag worship" Royal Blues single pass on the ass and are not willing to respect the ritual. We hope that these people are in the minority and many more as well as Schalke, we are proud of the symbols of our curve. To avoid situations like
against Hamburger SV in the future, we are appealing because each increasingly paying attention to that blow up the fence and not continue to hang flags in their place. Who's it too much to ask is that he puts his arm during the season on the flag, should think about a replacement card for next season. The fact is that the flags will remain hanging in place and no one complains or even decreases in the lower tier. If there is a need for discussion from your perspective, then say our members who are in the upper tier, a call! We will also once again the dialogue with Schalke looking to sit in the front rows in the upper tier of the north curve.
