Glasgow has Britain's second busiest arena, it has 3 airports in its vicinity, and has some really good public transport. Liverpool has one Airport, but Manchester and Blackpool are also quite accessible, made possible by Liverpool's own really good public transport. The M&S Arena is actually quite flexible, and its likely that the waterfront will be used for outdoor activities, should the city be picked. Both cities were Capitals of Culture, in 1990 and 2008 respectively.I'd much rather Liverpool wins it, it's far closer to most of the UK's population if nothing else.
I am biased to Liverpool, since I'm from there, but I think both are quite evenly matched to be fair
Liverpool's world famous for its music and deserves a slice of the cake for a change.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather they win it too. I think Liverpool has a lot more in the way of modern infrastructure, and a lot more to gain from Eurovision. It'll certainly help the case for the runway expansion of John Lennon Airport. But we're getting off topic. From a presentation POV, BBC North would likely be overseeing it if in Liverpool, which might be a point in favour of Liverpool as host. Media City's facilities are larger and more feature equipped than BBC Pacific Quay, which would be overseeing Eurovision if Glasgow were to host. Though that said, Pacific Quay is in Glasgow.
