I somehow think all these tri-counties and south yorkshire name suggestions won't work for the inbound market - they mean nothing to people outside of the uk, and London Doncaster is too far fetched even for MOL

They might also be a bit stuck for famous people from that region - Kevin Keegan, if he won the World Cup but he won't do that at City, - very few others - Douglas Bader, Human League, Jeremy Clarkson, the original Pilgrim Fathers...... do they cut the mustard?

So would the best bet not be the national name of QEll, and having been snubbed so long by the BAA this would be the chance for the monarchy to have an airport named after them - and afterall bridges, boats etc are named after her, so why not? King Fahid, Queen Beartrix , the Pope etc. all have airports named after them. Would HM really want to snub the good folks of Yorkshire if they asked? It would be a nice Christmas present for Yorkshire and show that the monarchy is not only about the south, i reckon she would jump at the chance and it would do the region the power of good, so come on Finningley suggest it to them
