The Ultras Gelsenkirchen continue a tradition in the home game against SpVgg Fürth. The whole thing is for a good cause.
The Ultras Gelsenkirchen continue a tradition in the home game against SpVgg Fürth on Saturday (1:30 p.m., RS liveticker).
Because this year, there will be a Nordkurve calendar again. This was announced by the fan organization. In recent years, the calendar, which always consists of motifs from the fan scene, has become increasingly popular with FC Schalke 04 supporters. It will probably be the same this year.
The 2025 Nordkurve calendar will be available to buy for the first time at S04’s home game against Fürth. “As usual, the new calendar can be purchased at the UGE information stand or directly at the entrance to the Nordkurve. The price of the calendar this year is again €4.00 + €6.00 minimum donation,” explained the “UGE”.
What makes the calendar campaign so special is that it always supports social institutions. For example, for many years now, the fans have been visiting the St. Josephs children’s home in Gelsenkirchen before Christmas to give Christmas presents to the children living there. This will also be the case this year.
However, other projects are also to be implemented. “This year, the donations will be used to extend the existing support for the food bank in Gelsenkirchen. The newly launched project to support primary schools in Gelsenkirchen is to be further expanded and more school exercise books distributed. The children at the children’s house are traditionally to receive the gifts on their wish lists at Christmas, and the facility will be supported in purchasing the blinds that are urgently needed for their extension. In addition, the homework support for St. Josef is to be extended,” the Ultras list a whole range of measures to be supported by the proceeds from the Nordkurve calendar.
A total of three quarters of the revenue will be used for this. 25 percent of the proceeds will be used to carry out choreographies like the one before the 0-1 in Hannover.
In addition to on-site sales, which will now be carried out at all home games of the Royal Blues until the winter break at the entrances to the arena, it is also possible to order the calendar online at nk-kalender.help-gelsen.de. However, based on experience, there may be delays in shipping. So if you want the calendar to be on the wall or under the Christmas tree for Christmas, you should use the on-site sale or order early.
