Sounds promising, the facility in Altrincham was only ever meant to be temporary and it's not a great place to watch a game. It's very cold and the sightlines aren't good at all.
The big question is whether the Storm can fill it, crowds have never been brilliant at the current rink.

I think the state of the current building plus it's location are the main reasons they dont get great numbers. I cant see them struggling with a better location and a nice new building. A building that sounds like it'll be surrounded by much better facilities, bars and restaurants etc too. If newbies go try a storm game at the minute they'll probably struggle to have enough positives to outweigh the negatives. I'd imagine the new place being able to entice people to coming back. A good marketing stratagy in a city the size of Manchester and they should have no issues averaging 4/5 thousands fans(Capacity dependant). |

Great news, this is exactly what the sport needs, Manc land can easy support 5-6k if it ends up in a good spot and watching hockey is a huge driver, not the under 18s Tuesday night disco.
(On a side note upgrade Coventry as well please wouldn't take much to bring it up to muster)
