Ultras Schalke 04 raise the alarm: No space for exploiters in the curve!

The Ultras of FC Schalke 04 have now finally set a clear sign: the latest developments related to the abusive use of their fan culture and the self-in-house sales system have led to a tangible trouble. In a long and urgent statement, they make it clear that they no longer agree with the current situation. They emphasize that it is unacceptable to do business with the emotions and memories of the fans.

The association has not only suffered from sporting setbacks in recent years, but also under a continuing conflict with the police in Gelsenkirchen. These tensions have fueled additional frustrations within the fan community. The Ultras, known for their passionate support and their great choreographies, are now forced to act against the cases of abuse within their own ranks.

frustration on the abuse of fan articles

A particularly problem is the online sales of fan articles that are offered by certain individuals at excessive prices. The ultras refer to countless offers on the Internet, in which choreo elements and other fan articles are resold quickly and often overpriced. "For us and many other Schalke, these articles are memories of special moments with our club," said the Ultras. These memories are emotional and should not be exploited.

in her internal corner leaf, the "blue letter", the Ultras express their displeasure with this behavior. They make it clear that it is a exploitation of the community, in which some "idiots" try to profitly draw from the devotion of fans. The choreos and merchandise articles are more than just objects for the members of the Ultras; They are part of their identity and joint experience in the stadium.

"These people have no right to enrich themselves on our actions," explains a spokeswoman for the Ultras. It is understandable that the fans of such a behavior that pulls their community into the dirt are absolutely disgusted. "It is a shame that some shops and individuals benefit from our passion by selling their own imitation products," continues their statement.

clear appeal for return to the roots

The Ultras appeal to the fan base of developing awareness of the importance of fan culture and not doing business with these "black sheep". The recourse to the "North Curve Cult", which ultimately serves only for personal enrichment, has to be stopped. "For us it is clear that those who enrich themselves at the expense of others has lost nothing in our curve," said a haunting warning.

This clear announcement once again shows how serious the ultras mean when it comes to maintaining their culture and identity. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop. The Ultras have committed themselves to a clear line and do not offer any space for compromises in this matter. For them it is not just a question of dealing with fan articles, but about the preservation of values that are deeply rooted in the fan scene.

The fan scene remains split, and while some are willing to deal with these challenges, others may continue to be indifferent. But one thing is certain: the Ultras of FC Schalke 04 will not rest until the abuse of their culture comes to an end. Your passionate commitment will continue to shape the passionate and emotionally charged atmosphere in the stadium, which makes FC Schalke 04 so unique.
