I'm not from Liverpool but took the kids to Chester for a couple of days, kids with RS tops dominated, not loads big ahead of man utd in second, didn't see any efc kids but saw one dad with an efc tattoo
Did get me wondering on how we can attract young fans, reality is in 50 years we've played second fiddle for the vast majority of time and I'm sure lost a lot of 'casual' support to them
I do think we need to increase visibility of our club, obviously they just won the league and they have a huge tourist support (even at Chester zoo) but we need a plan from the new owners Previous Message
First time really back in 30 years - I've been back many times, last time for the game a few months back, but this time did the full tourist thing and really went around town and the city centre and really spent time looking around rather than just going to the game or going to my mums house etc..
I know it was the parade on Monday, we arrived on Tuesday, but is it really so much in favour of LFC rather than EFC now across the city? The LFC store was rammed on Wednesday and the EFC store in Liverpool one was basically empty and small in comparison. We had 6 taxi drivers over a few days, they all supported LFC, made jokes about Everton being based in Wales etc. Hardly saw anyone in an EFC top, no flags flying etc. Honestly, it seemed like a one club city. Loads of houses decked out in flags on Queens Drive (etc) but probably due to the bus.
I don't remember it being like that when I was a teenager but looking it up on google it seems the best estimate it 2/3 of everyone in Liverpool who support a club support Liverpool. Was it always like this, has it changed due to success or immigration or whatever? Like, is it only 33% of people in Liverpool now support Everton?
Loved the visit, what they have done around the docs is something else, what a city! Amazing place. Titanic hotel was really good, the rooms were genuinely awesome and massive. Shout out to the quirky corner near chinatown, well worth an hour!
Cheers
