Unfortunately the vast majority of my fellow dwellers in Doncaster couldn’t care less about the economic business case. They selfishly just want an airport in their doorstep to get cheap flights to cheap places. Their attitude is that it’s government money, despite there being no such thing...

As a resident living about 2 miles from the airport, and as someone who has voted both red and blue in my lifetime, I am so incredibly fed up of the Labour Party and Chadwick. There are many of us who would like the airport open IF it could be economically sensible. Since I doubt it can I am...

It is entirely the attitudes of the labour council and the ignorance of many locals that make me so embarrassed to say I am from Doncaster. The irony that this will be such a financial vampire costing hundreds of millions of public funds when Peel would develop the site in such a way that would...

Some common sense! I live about 3 miles from the airport. Would I use the airport? Of course, if the flight was there to use and I would probably pay a bit more for the convenience. Will I fly from it more than once a year? No! Will anyone on Chadwick’s Facebook page fly from it more than once a...

Come on now let’s be real. Mark Chadwick helped raise awareness in the immediate aftermath but I actually think in the long term his group has causes harm to the campaign. Any airlines/investors/operators that might have been looking at DSA would have seen that despite over 100,000 members, the...

As a local to the airport and a realist, the comments on Chadwick’s page are so embarrassing. I promise some of us in the area are intelligent. It’s fine to have the selfish passion to use all of Doncaster’s gainshare funding reopening a failed airport if that’s your way of funding but it’s just...

Well I’m a local who isn’t for it. I think it will fail to produce the jobs, added value and will be a gigantic financial flop. £138m of gainshare funds can be put to much better use than to support a few hundred selfish socialists who think they shouldn’t have to drive an hour down the road to...

Dan Fell who is the Chief Exec at Doncaster Chamber has to my knowledge never worked in the commercial world. In fact I think he has only ever really worked at Doncaster Chamber so he hasn’t got a clue really. I’m not saying that these organisations don’t do any good but I think a lot of their...

I’m have no doubt that Ros Jones has made this announcement in response to Oliver Coppard showing more caution and taking independent advice. Ros is trying to make it as uncomfortable as possible for Oliver to pull back from funding DSA.

In one of the Save DSA groups that Chadwick has no involvement in there is a gent names Wai Ming Yau who appears to have been far quicker on some information than anyone else. He shared the YA report on Wednesday this week I think it was saying that LBA commissioned it. I don’t know how he has...

It was put on a different DSA Facebook page a few days ago with comments that it had been commissioned by LBA and sent to SAU. I’ve no way of knowing if that’s true or not. It makes for grim reading and only increases my concern that CDC are going to spaff £100m up the wall that could go into...

Of course it does. People for who LBA is convenient won’t travel to DSA and it’s understandable. Additionally Manchester and East Midlands are easy enough to get to. I would love DSA to be able to open and thrive, I just don’t see that it can be substantiated with the local demographic

I have been very hesitant about the whole debacle from the outset. I have never bought into Ros Jones and the councils procurement process. I’m in business and the sheer lack of regard for those of us who are realistic is staggering. Chadwick challenged me when I said the people of Doncaster...

Chadwick’s disciples would think I am mad but I actually enjoy the hustle and bustle of Manchester Airport. I’m fascinated by it and it’s a great start to a holiday

My first time posting here but have been watching for a long time. I live in Doncaster and think its a great shame the airport closed, but I am a realist and I am very concerned at the way City of Doncaster Council are running roughshod with the proposed spending of over £100m of gainshare...
