Schalke advised & Police approved meeting area before the match is Hochstrasse/St. Urbanus Kirchplatz in Gelsenkirchen-Buer (3 or 4 tram (302) stops north of Veltins arena)
or Bus shuttle to the Arena

Gutted I’m not there mate, but a weekend in Cardiff followed by a weekend in London is about as much as my health will take these days, have a great time
