About 200 members of the Official Liverpool FC Supporters Club filled Toronto’s Cavern Club, showing their passion for a team that plays an ocean away
Four guys from Liverpool selling out a Toronto venue and regaling fans about affairs of the heart sounds like a familiar refrain.
“You might say ‘I love ice cream.’ But you don’t really love ice cream,” joked one of the four, Neil Atkinson, in his opening dialogue. “You don’t for instance get up at 6:30 in the morning to see how Ben and Jerry’s are getting on. You don’t go to Haagen-Dazs away.
“Just today one of the supporters club people was talking about the fact that she felt we helped lead them through COVID-19, which was a really nice thing for her to have said,” said Atkinson, who doubles as chief executive and lead presenter. After kicking things off in Toronto, the foursome – who have “quasi-indie-bandish stylings,” Atkinson said – were moving on to Detroit, Boston, New York and Philadelphia, before ending in Washington on March 27.
“But Toronto are another level in terms of how they do it and their professionalism and everything they do and because they’ve been good to us and because they’ve always supported us we wanted to support them so that’s why we started in Toronto.” “I don’t think it’s surprising because the Premier League if anything has become more of a prevalent force across the world, but especially in North America,” said Yvi Laramee, the club secretary for the OLSC Toronto. “Liverpool has always had a very strong baseline here anyway in Toronto.”
