Fan Power

This is a big game in Germany and I wanted to go (before I noticed a scheduling clash), but didn't think I'd get in as it would be sold out well in advance.  These prices are chicken feed compared to English Football.  German fans often express abject horror when I tell them how much it costs to get into a match in England.

This is their reaction to price increases, quite interesting really:

As much I'd love to go it clashes with the Mighty Pool against Chelski, plus I'm guessing the atmosphere s not what it would have been lol

Perhaps some points in here that us Englischers could learn from....

lol, doubt schalke are going to be too bothered by the visiting fans paying and then not turning up

they should maybe have thought of doing this before buying tickets

Makes more of a statement, and shows principles if they will pay, but still refuse to go.
