Noel and Liam Gallagher have both signed the cheques - issued by the "Oasis Bank of Burnage" - and hope fans will keep them as souvenirs instead. The fictitious bank is named after the area of Manchester where the brothers grew up. The refunds, issued on amended NatWest Bank cheques which can be banked anywhere, are legal. But the band hope they'll become collectors' items. Now, fans are facing a dilemma over whether to cash in their refunds. Glitches A spokeswoman said: "People can cash them in.They are quite distinctive, so a few people may decide to keep them." Oasis could face a pounds 1million bill after more than 20,000 took up Noel's offer of a refund. It came after the band's opening night concert in Manchester on June 4 was marred by technical glitches. Speaking from the stage, Noel told fans: "Thank you very, very much, this is a free gig - let's have it... "Anybody who has kept their ticket will get a full refund." More than 70,000 had paid pounds 45 to see the band at Heaton Park. But Noel later hit out at the large number of "cheeky" concert- goers who took up the offer. But he stuck to his word and refunds have now started to go out to faithful fans. ...... __________________________________________________________________ 好聪明的办法,但也很不公平,那没有求偿的人就拿不到纪念支票了啊. 不过还是有票根就是了... --
