For their first away game in the second division this year, the Schalke 04 fans came up with a large display. The focus is on ponchos in blue and white.

For the second division away game at 1. FC Kaiserslautern, the fans of Schalke 04 came up with something special.

They made the guest block in the venerable Fritz Walter Stadium shine completely in blue and white. To do this, the fans put on blue and white ponchos before the game even started. The block was reminiscent of a huge flag in the Schalke club colors.

Despite the rather inconvenient kick-off time for away fans on a Friday evening at 6:30 pm at the Betzenberg, an estimated 10,000 Schalke fans made their way to Kaiserslautern. The journey was made even more difficult by motorway closures and the Deutsche Bahn strike.

Just in time for the kick-off, the Schalke fans presented a gigantic pennant with the inscription “Blue and white, how I love you”.
