Oasis fans STILL managed to see the screens from outside the huge Heaton Park<\/a> gig on Wednesday night (July 16) – despite the ‘Gallagher Hill’ being closed by the council.<\/p>\n

At the weekend, ticketless fans joined forces at a space next to the concert area which has now been aptly named \u2018Gallagher Hill\u2019<\/a>. Crowds still managed were able to hear the on-stage action and catch glimpses of the band through trees.<\/p>\n

But those hoping for a similar experience on Wednesday were told not to come to the venue<\/a> without a ticket, whilst Manchester Council also erected new fences blocking access to the hill spot.<\/p>\n

Despite this, some fans still arrived at the north Manchester park, with some camping out and having picnics ahead of the show, and others scaling trees and fences in a bid to catch a glimpse of the show.<\/p>\n

But it seemed another group of hopefuls without tickets managed to score possibly the best view from outside – by climbing atop a wall on the outskirts of the park and using their mobile phones to zoom in on one of the stage screens to see it clearly.<\/p>\n

\u201cF***ing hell that\u2019s mega” one person said as a group of men scaled the fences and raised their arms above the barriers surrounding the stage area.<\/p>\n

Whilst fans were warned by Manchester Council not to head to Heaton Park if they didn\u2019t have a ticket, some people still gathered at the nearby \u2018Gallagher\u2019s Hill\u2019 despite it being fenced off to block off views of the stage.<\/p>\n

Large crowds also gathered and sat on walls and pavements along Bury<\/a> Old Road, sitting on deck chairs, dancing and enjoying drinks outside while they sang along to the music echoing across the area.<\/p>\n

Red flares were also let off in the grounds of Heaton Park, as other ticketless fans gathered to climb trees and the fences to enjoy the evening together.<\/p>\n

The band are continuing their five-night run of shows here in the city this evening, with a further two shows set to take place this weekend.<\/p>\n
