Glasgow or Liverpool to host Eurovision

[PineappleSlushies]

I've just read on the daily mail that these two cities are the final two in the running to host Eurovision. The comments on it are really quite horrible, and I am hoping to have a nice thread where we can talk about the benefits of both of these cities in hosting the Eurovision (I am from one of the Cities mentioned - not saying what one I listed them in alphabetical order on the heading 😁). they are both great contenders as far as I'm concerned.

is it possible to have a positive conversation about this? Can we beat the Daily mail readers and find something good to say?

Is it all right to be torn between the two? They'd each be spendid.

Liverpool of course (being nearby on the Wirral!) but either city will be amazing, so we have all won.

Glasgow is a twin of Liverpool in my opinion. They are both stunning cities, full of great people with fierce pride for their home turf, built on the best cultural and social traditions with amazing facilities, both surrounded by stunning landscapes within 30 minutes. Both excellent holiday destinations. Both fully deserving of the honour.

Final announcement tonight on the one show by Graham Norton.

Apparently.

And it's.....

Brilliant for Liverpool.

Nooooo! Aw fair play, it will be great. I just wanted it closer 🤣

Bit disappointed with that even though I'm much closer to Liverpool than Glasgow

What kind of things have they been saying on the Daily Mail?

To be fair they are both a bit out of the way. London would have been better especially as Boris has done so much for Ukraine, they love him over there

Out of the way from where and what?

I don't live near either, but I'm disappointed it's not Glasgow, seems to be the general mood amongst people I know, too. 😔

Selfishly o hope it's Liverpool as then I can try and get tickets

@limitededitionbarbie It is Liverpool, was announced earlier. 🙂

My DH literally just told me also. So pleased but gutted for Glasgow.

I'm very excited now hopefully we can get tickets

Glaswegian here but very happy for you Liverpool!! Well done, I'm half Liverpudlian so all good!! Both cities are so alike, it will be fantastic.

Hopefully we will see loads of Glaswegians in Liverpool for the Eurovision

The two always have a good laugh in my experience

Friend has flights. Am in meltdown. Rotterdam redux.

Don't think that's terribly accurate. I'm from Liverpool, still live here. It's such a popular city for peope to move to from other parts of the country that I'm worried about it becoming overpopulated (it's a very different place from the late 90s when I moved temporarily to London for a few years). I couldn't way to get away from London as found it claustrophobic and expensive, and it looks like Liverpool is headed the same way. Getting too built up.

Eh? It's a little over 2 hours from London to Liverpool on the train.

It's The North. Londoner probably hasn't seen a train map of the west coast mainline.
