Not entirely true.

Who else plays on it other than Manly? I know you can walk your dog and let it take a poop on it but don't know if that causes much maintainence work?

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.

Seems that the latest article from Dean Ritchie has now taken heed of the many comments saying he was wrong and written this follow up piece - http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/debate-continues-over-artificial-playing-surface-at-manlys-brookvale-oval/story-e6frexnr-1226423831658

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.
