Afterlife ... Schalke fans will be able to continue supporting the club from their graves. Source: AAP
Many fans devote their lives to their beloved clubs, but in Germany fans can continue that support in the afterlife.
German side Schalke have opened up a cemetery which overlooks their stadium in which fans can reserve plots for $1525, with an annual upkeep of $152.
The 'Schalke Fan Field' will be a replica of the stadium, complete with full-size goals and substitute benches, all surrounded by blue and white flowers - the club's colours.
However Schalke, who follow in the footsteps of Argentine club Boca Juniors and Bundesliga rivals Hamburg in setting up club cemeteries, say the venture is not a money-spinner for them.
The club has stated that they don't do "business with death" and that their is a desire amongst their fanbase for the scheme to exist.
The club's official graveyard, just outside Schalke's Veltins Arena, will open in December and some supporters have already booked their spots, including fan club vice chairman Rolf Rojek.
"My life is Schalke and at some point I will lay on the fan field, with my friends having a view of the stadium forever," said Rojek.
"What more could you want?"
