if an early release were approved, up to £500,000 could be transferred to an early release fund to improve links to the Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport or spent on marketing Sheffield overseas as a tourist destination.
It's funny enough seeing "Doncaster" on a airport departure board, but ....

Wonder if it's the airport only or if the heliport bit will stay (Sheffield International Heliport).

Incidently - links to DSRHA. It's quicker to drive to East Midlands Airport than to Finningley. That's because there is a big motorway going that way. And, are Sheffield going to give money to Doncaster? Nope, thought not.

Also, Manchester and East Mids have real business flights, not just holiday charters.

Wonder how much of the £500,000 will be availble to the aviation businesses at EGSY who will then have to "start again" somewhere else.

No? Thought not ... Lets spend the bung on 'marketing Sheffield as an overseas tourist destination'. You too can sing at the club used in the Full Monty ...

Anybody remember the World Student Games ?

Same gullable guys and gals. Same result.
