[@TheOoTGamer]

@@zellhaufen8583 Thats not true. Northrhine-Westphalia gets a lot of money out of the Länder-pot to this day. Yes, the east recieves more, but thats kinda understandable. Also try to have a train trip through the east. Apart from the big cities it doesnt look any different to Gelsenkirchen. Reality is, Gelsenkirchen and most of the east just arent economically that competetive for different reasons. Until there's an economic upswing in these regions, no money in the world will help.

17:02 That dude is making a parody of a German "celebrity". So there's this dude called 'Anzeigenhauptmeister' (high master of complaintments) who wears a uniform similar to the man in the video. He rides around on a bicycle and files reports on people for small misdemeanors like parking wrong in his free time and sends hundreds of them to the local authorities. He even reported his neighbor for parking wrong. He's really harsh, like he will file a report, even if your car is just two centimeters within a no-parking-zone. On his uniform he wrote POLIZFI (a misspelling of POLIZEI, police) therefore that dude wrote UEVA instead of UEFA.

[@fairphoneuser9009]

But he said Hauptstadtanzeigenmeister! So this correction and/or explanation is necessary!

No way they're talking about the Anzeigenhauptmeister on HITC Sevens

[@glps6167]

If you want to explain to a German where Gelsenkirchen is located, the simplest way is to tell him "it's near Schalke." The city quarter is more famous than the city itself, due to the football team. A large part of the population has Polish roots, migrants who came in the 19th century to work in the coal mines. The Schalke team which dominated German football 1933-1942 fielded many players with Polish names. The two most famous of them were Fritz Szepan and Ernst Kuzorra. One of them played for Germany once, the other two times. The Nazis wanted their players in the national team to be Germans, and disliked Schalke. But the team was too famous and popular to undertake measures against them, other than ignoring them when the national team was selected, or rigging some games against them. Until 1942 that is; after the fall of Stalingrad, many of its players were drafted to the army.

[@kgtl12345]

[@stellarsjay1773]

Heavily industrialized areas are always fanatical about their teams. Goes back to days when games were the only things they had to look forward to in otherwise grim lives. Lots of places like that, not just Germany.

Underrated match banter from Alfie, looked like you boys had fun. Just to say im an Everton fan and fell in love with Schalke as they seemed like a German version of us, up the Royal Blues. My yearly FM first save is always 3 teams, Everton, Schalke and a randomly selected new team (Blackpool for FM 24).

[@robertwilloughby8050]

The interesting thing about Gelsenkirchen is that in the late 60's - early 70's, the German government offered a serious amount of aid to small glass producers with one caveat - some had to merge and move to Gelsenkirchen. So Gelsenkirchen still has a fairly good glass industry.

Great to have met you Alfie and agreeing to having a photo taken with myself. You are a top bloke and just as nice as I thought you would be. Your work is great. This video is amazing. I came here in 2006 and it left a lasting impression. I described it as being “stuck in the 1960s” and I meant that in the nicest possible way. I remember that it was a small town centre - it seemed a lot bigger this time- very quiet with not much to do. And to top it all it had this amazingly modern and massive football arena. This time I ventured more and with my 2 mates we found this amazing brutalist building just minutes from the centre with a tourist information centre. There was nobody in and it seemed that there was a volunteer hub for the Euro volunteers. There’s a lot more to this place than meets the eye. I too found it very charming… I love a brutalist building…this is brutalist city. In 2006 I remember how great the public transport was and been telling everyone how great it was. I don’t know what’s happened this time. We went to the game and instinctively knew there were issues and it was apparent that it would not get better. We got to the town centre….it was empty. We got a Uber and thank God we did having heard the stories the next day. Keep up the good work Alfie….. And let’s hope England win… I would love for Gareth to win it…. He is much maligned for his style of play but that’s his trademark . I don’t expect anything different in our next game but we do look solid defensive and tight defences win trophies.
