All of Gelsenkirchen is eagerly anticipating promotion to the Bundesliga. Ahead of the evening match against Fortuna Düsseldorf, according to media reports, nearly 20,000 Schalke supporters took part in the fan march toward the stadium. 

From the northern district of Buer, they made the roughly four-kilometer journey to the Arena auf Schalke loudly and euphorically. 

Public transport in Buer and around the stadium came to a complete standstill at times — tram and bus services were suspended entirely for the duration of the march. In addition, numerous car parades took place in and around Gelsenkirchen. Everyone is ready for the return to Germany’s top flight. If Schalke pull it off today, the Ruhr area will certainly turn night into day.
