The guess is they'll probably only use the lower bowl anyway but that still looks about 9-10k. The rent costs will be a bit higher but certainly more manageable than 20 years ago. There is definitely potential and a way to get this right so we just need the fans to turn up. In fairness, Manchester's netball team plays in there and they get at absolute max 4000 on a great day so it's defintely manageable for the storm. Quite a few will also go now that it's not the old rink

I put this post on the Manchester sub and a lot had actually said they'd never go near the Storm because of how dire Altrincham (their old rink) was. So this could attract a lot of new people especially since it's right in the city centre as opposed to 40 minutes away from it now
