Perhaps more suitable than the o2 for an EIHL team.

Agreed, could this be the new Neil Black team as mooted many times in the last few years?

Twin pad with capacity for 800 spectators in total, one set of seats down the side of one of the pads.

Unfortunately, that is no where near enough to run a viable top tier EIHL team... Yet again our hopes for a top flight London based club fall at the first hurdle :peek:

Lee Valley has always been focussed on figure skating so it's no surprise to see limited seating unfortunately. The transport links to that area are not great either, although a bit better now that Lea Bridge train station has been reopened, so I don't think it would have been a great place for EIHL hockey.

At least it's getting replaced at all :thumb:

Potentially enough to run an NIHL side out of it?

Not sure the EIHL does need a London based team. It made little difference in the past.
