If we're seriously looking at getting improvements to Brookie Oval then sharing with Marlins would seem to be a step in the right direction. Games basically each weekend at Brookie wouldn't be a bad result.
only thing it will the idiot whingers more to complain about that live near the ground

You see - the problem with that is that people like Kirsch (in my opinion) are now one trick ponies. Brookvale Oval, and the debate is ALL she HAS now.
Take that away from people like her, and people would question what as a councilor she is actually doing?
My theory has always been with people like her, the following.
Instead of squabbling over the scraps of money that OTHERS have lobbied to attain, why not try being pro-active, getting off your arse, and acquiring SEPARATE funding for things on your own right?
Now, I know that sounds novel, but it CAN be done if these people are motivated in improving our community.
I am yet to see ANY evidence that Kristina, and her council have attained funding for our schools, hospitals, infrastructure and co. What I HAVE seen is evidence that she has seen a wet rag thrown our way by state government, after a LOT of work by passionate people (Reilly, Spray, Mayer, Lowe & everyone else - not trying to leave anyone out there), and she wants to pick and scrape at it, because it makes her look pro-active to her 80+ year old, minority group of fans that support and vote for her.
Here's the thing. We presented a petition, with 10,000 odd signatures on it with the help "from her community" that suggests her views are skew. If she, and other councilors are so blind as to understand this is not "community opinion" then they are more narrow minded than I could ever imagine.
