Schalke 04 prevented another coaching debate with a 2-0 win in the basement derby against Regensburg. But things remain turbulent: After the failed attempt to sign old striker Modeste, the members’ meeting is now coming up.
What the “Speaker’s Corner” at London’s Hyde Park is to the Englishman, the “Böklunder Fanbox” in front of the stadium gate is to Schalke. There, at the home game, the fans have their say, people sing and compose poetry in honor of their club and shout slogans of solidarity, some even dare to predict a home win. The most beautiful contributions, recorded in sound and image, are shown to the audience at halftime, which on Sunday during the game against Jahn Regensburg brought a supporter on the screen who made a sensational confession. Actually, he revealed, he wanted to propose to his girlfriend, “but I think the three points are more important today.”
