Lottoland cleared - Manly Home final!

Have I ever mentioned what a great location Rat Park would be for a rebuild..?

@globaleagle


I think I've been converted. Tired of having to battle the nrl on the state of Brookvale and quite frankly, if we want to be a professional team, get to a professional stadium. Had to go through seeing St-Merge get 2 stadiums, parra get 30, etc etc. Even the damn titans have something nice and shiny (besides a wooden spoon).

Make it happen Loobs! We all remember that you're Mr Penn!

Northern Beaches Council has told the NRL an asbestos-affected area at the northern end of Lottoland can be made safe before the start of the finals series as Manly cling to hope they will be able to play at their spiritual home.

The council's chief executive officer, Ray Brownlee, said on Monday afternoon it had tabled a report to the NRL which paves the way for the Sea Eagles to host the Sharks at Lottoland on Saturday night.

"Council has given the NRL and the Manly Sea Eagles every assurance it can that there is no reason the scheduled semi-final at Brookvale Oval cannot go ahead next week," Brownlee said.

"Public safety is council’s first priority and as soon as the Sea Eagles brought this issue to our attention, specialist environmental engineers were engaged to assess the site and provide recommendations on the measures required to be implemented.

"The expert advice received from the engineers today indicates that based on their preliminary assessment, there is no unacceptable risk to public health.

"The advice assures council, the Sea Eagles and the NRL that the affected area that is on the site in front of the canteen on the northern hill, can be effectively contained and made safe for next weekend’s game.


"The preliminary report also confirms there is no risk of contamination on the playing surface.

"The Sea Eagles bought this issue to council’s attention late on Thursday when the contaminants were discovered as part of the Sea Eagles geotechnical investigations for their proposed Centre of Excellence at Brookvale Oval.
 
Plus the ground has a new naming sponsor........
