Sea Eagles CEO Joe Kelly will push for more Sunday arvo games at Brookie

Not quite. Manly and Warringah have always been separate LGAs. It was Pittwater, formerly the A Riding of Warringah Shire, that went its own way after a local plebiscite in 1991. Only residents of A Riding were allowed to vote in the plebiscite and only about 50% in favour was considered a sufficient 'majority' for them to go it alone.

You can thank in part a largely disinterested Local Govt. minister from the Nationals, one Gerry Peacocke, for that little imbroglio. Thanks Gerry.

Ironically it looks like it will be another LNP state govt. that will force all three Northern Beaches councils to merge.

I think Manly have a year window to either get Brookvale upgraded or be forced into a permanent move away. It will come down to viability and sustainability and the fact is as much as we all treasure Brookvale it is not going to be enough to sustain our future.

If we get the green light to upgrade the place we still face 2 years away from Brooky while it is done, I like the vision of the Penns in relation to Brookvale but soon they will have to make the ultimate decision before the NRL steps in and forces us out.

Bad news, the North Harbour Rays won't be using Brookie this year.
