New name for Leeds Bradford Airport

[The Pole]

I don't care if i walk into a cardboard box blocked by a rain forest as long as it does what it says on the tin.

Had a run past today and the whole place feels so much bigger. I am not rightly fussed about what the cladding looks like but a big mural of Rob Burrow and King Kev on it would be my choice. Loads of sporting murals all over Leeds so it would very much be in keeping with this theme.

Personally could think of better sporting icons to represent Yorkshire's Airport rather than the Leeds bias there but I get the sentiment. That said I am attending an audience with Kev next year which I would guess will be excellent, and I am sure lots of references to his pal who was taken from us way to early

The problem with spots icons is that whichever club they represented there will be others who support other clubs that don't agree. Few would argue over Rob Burrow and Sir Kev, but then there's the football fraternity, maybe cricket, and various other sports personalities. To avoid upset it's better to not go there in my view. I've never been a fan of naming airports after people no matter how amazing they may have been.

It's ironic that I am sat in the pub listening to John Lennon

Just be thankful it isn't George Best @Bigman

Geoff Boycott for me.

My choice would be Chris Foren

I did hear a rumour that the airport was to change names to Leeds Bradford Tracy Brabin international, in honour of our esteemed mayor and her new found muted support perhaps she can arrange an executive lounge for all her colleagues to have another freebie, in their donated clothes

If they did, we might get a tram link to LBA as well as a cycle lane.

My choice would be Chris Foren

Not a bad call. Just imagine the founder of the group that shall not be named, and who wants to shut down the airport, having it named after him. The ultimate insult. Perhaps they could ask him to do the official opening of the terminal extension too!

Geoff Boycott for me.

No one would bat an eyelid at that

I think in reality, if its going to have anything scrawled across it, it will simply be Leeds/Bradford Airport or 'ey up' or both.

Geoff Boycott for me.

Don't you mean Captain Boycott?

I did put Geoff Boycott in a previous post jokingly however 'ey up' is now part of the airports marketing strategy so I was being serious when I suggested it.

'Ey up, wipe tha' bloody feet, shut up, & belt up'

"leeds bradford bad weather international" airport!

 

[ex_crew]

I'm happy to go along with most of these suggestions as long as it's not "Scary Spice International Airport "

 

[Finger66]

To appease everyone (not), I think it should be called Tracey Ros Brabin-Jones Yorkshire International Airport!!!!

Alternatively it could be called Brabin Usually Loathes Leeds Secretly Having Isolated Trains or B******t for short!!!!!

 

[Seasider]

No need for a new name - end of.

Joe Root 66

He's from Sheffield ! Let them rename the resurrected DSA Doncaster Sheffield Robin Hood Joe Root Airport..

Can't have our airport named after someone from Sheffield, no matter how good he is.
