That would be brilliant, because Schalke is one of my favourite teams. I once attended a match in the Arena Auf Schalke, against Eintracht Frankfurt. It was an experience I'll never forget. What a fantastic crowd and atmosphere. I remember drinking a beer in a typical Schalke cafe in Gelsenkirchen before the match. People were so friendly and hostile to newcomers. Some fans asked me why I came all the way from Holland to see this match, they were really interested. Although the match itself wasn't that good(1-0), it was like à huge blue party.
The club fully deserves à place in the final, but chances aren't too big sadly enough. But we can hope! Hopp Blau Und Weiss!

always great to welcome people to "our" Arena. yeah, basically you can have a really good time for a football game there, the atmosphere is a rare one. loud and emotional. that's among the things I love most when my team plays 
and people in general, the majority, are friendly and open-hearted in our area, something I'm pleased to say 
You've turned me a into a bit of a Schalke fan
