Didn't the article say it was used 15 hours per week, the maximum it can withstand currently, & the artificial pitch wpuld allow for up to 60 hours? I cant get on the website at the moment to check.

Just letting you know that it isn't used once every fortnight as suggested.

Other grades play there. Local comp finals held there. Team Trains there on some days. The council even let there their version of the Easter Show be hold there.
