Liam Gallagher has publicly rebuked Edinburgh council officials for their derogatory description of Oasis fans attending sold-out concerts at Murrayfield Stadium as mainly rowdy middle-aged men. Following the leak of safety briefing documents, which raised concerns about the potential risk to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Gallagher expressed his dismay on social media, highlighting the perceived snobbery of the council. The local officials had voiced worries about safety protocols due to the expected intoxication levels of the older fanbase. David Walker from the Oasis Collectors Group condemned the negative stereotyping of fans, while the council emphasized the economic importance of hosting major events.
To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about OASIS fans and quite frankly your attitude fucking stinks I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot.
To call fans drunk, middle-aged, and fat is a nasty, sneering stereotype, it's a jaundiced view.
We're very proud to host the biggest and best events in Edinburgh throughout the year, which bring in hundreds of millions of pounds to the local economy.
The advisory group is understood to be made up of organisers, emergency services and transport leaders to ensure safety at the events.
