Metro Entertainment reporter Raquiwrites has been in Liverpool since Tuesday covering Eurovision2023, and unsurprisingly, it's been wild, and it all started with parties and green glitter, and that was just on the train up from London...
in Liverpool, thousands of Eurovision fanatics hopped on trains, busses and planes to make their way to Merseyside.
The OGAE fan group booked out two entire carriages from Euston to Liverpool and the party kicked off straight away Each question saw the marriage come alive with Eurovision fans bolting down the aisles – because the first person to bring the correct answer to Jan in the manager’s office would be the one to win a goodie bag.Unfortunately, we didn’t win , but we did get a chance to chat to Jan about his love for the event and how it has brought everyone together – including those travelling from Euston and those getting on at Milton Keynes, Crewe and elsewhere along the journey of his train.
Metro.co.uk also caught up with the Avanti staff who helped organised the OGAE carriage, with Nick Ryder emerging from the singing and dancing of Carriage C and revealing they had ‘hatched a plan’ before Christmas to get ‘Eurovision superfans on board.’ As we headed into the famed carriages, we got to talk to some of these fans – including Ronni, who was dressed head-to-toe in the UK colours, with a union flag skirt, red-white-and-blue pigtails and hat, and who declared that this was just the beginning.
‘As soon as it was announced it was in Liverpool I went straight on Booking.com – it was 100% sold out within minutes of it being announced, and the cheapest place was £2000 a night.’
