Shed.

What we don't need is another bout of willy waving and rubbishing "yours" or "my" airport (my local is actually EMA so I consider myself something of a referee).

As I wrote a couple of days ago I doubt that any airport that has built new runways or extended existing ones beyond what is needed for euorpean operations have actually made a real profit on the initial investment (not even your beloved Manchester).

BHX has taken a pretty big business risk, let us wish them all the best - as I do the Manchester taxpayers who have more of a vested interest in getting a payback than do those living around truly privatised airports such as EMA and BHX.
