The distance between Jack Gurr’s hometown of Newcastle, England and his new home of Atlanta is 4,074 miles (6,557 kms for our British fans), but Gurr has found that distance doesn’t always mean difference.
“In Newcastle, you’re born and you either play or you watch. There’s no other sports. It’s so magnified, it’s what we do,” Gurr thoughtfully responded. “But Atlanta is literally the closest thing I’ve seen to that. The fans at the game love soccer. It’s tough to compare them, but the energy and the passion and what they feel for the club is definitely similar.
