I spent a few days in Sheffield last week (if Dore count's) and i was shocked how the city has changed since i was last there and it wasn't all good, i can't see there is any way Sheffield City council could justify writing blank cheques for an Airport that few ever used, filling in the car eating pot holes would be a start, although if you could direct flights inbound from Somalia i think they'd but full from reading the local press, there is nothing wrong with local pride or indeed a wish to see your home city do well, but you have to be realistic and ask who will pay for it and other than the council i don't see any private investor going near it with their own money, its not like its a football club? there are no bragging rights in owning an airport unless its a premiership one....
