Heaton Park, Manchester, Oasis, Kasabian and Golf

The tickets for next summers Oasis tour go on sale today. What concert goers may not know is that there is a championship golf course there,designed by 5 times Open champion and founder of The Professional Golfers Association (PGA), J. H. Taylor The course opened in 1912, and has since been the host venue of many professional and amateur tournaments? Faldo Juniors Qualifiers Series? They allow all of us in and fees are very reasonable indeed.It was voted top municipal course of the year by Golf Punk and Esquire Magazine (they are hoping for tickets) Well Done.

But to stick to the purpose of the site, how will the celebrity name tag work for Heaton Park? Well, I dont think the Oasis tag will attract the Ryder cup to the Championship Course. I wonder if there has been an outcry from golfers and local residents about the mob turning up at the Park, the drunken hoards, the noise.Of course we wont go anywhere near the course and nature is very good and covering up marauders, as long as the bottles are picked up.

But lets face it, loads of fans will go back with their kids to look at the legendary site of the best gig they ever went to.I am admitting to returning to Maine Road and Balloch Castle. Its put Heaton Park on the map for my teenagers and their mates. Its all knowledge you know.

Imagine the day. Its Saturday 6th June 2009.Its definitely not raining. You have had a swift round on the beautiful parkland course, had a look at the Pennines, and now you are joining the throng to see Kasabian and Oasis on the same night! They, of course have been let in from the furthest entry point to the Park from the stage. You on the other hand are staying at Heaton Hall, just a short staggering distance away. Tickets on sale in 30 minutes.
