00:00 cynical we could give them for thinking that Peel really wanted to develop the land and the only way
00:05 that they would have got the council for other uses maybe given the proximity to the M18, the
00:11 port network on that east coast, lots of incoming so you would have thought they might have wanted
00:16 to develop that into a warehouse in RDC, something to do with cars for example, we'd get all the
00:21 stuff coming in from Germany and again the airport was just a sop really to get some building and
00:27 some infrastructure in and then to do that which is what I personally, what a lot of people think
00:32 they'd do so yeah I think they should and I think they could have probably offloaded that to someone
00:37 like Ryanair who could have a real Midlands hub for their business instead of relying on the heavy
00:41 slot fees charged at East Midlands, Manchester and so on so maybe there could have been something
00:47 along those lines but yeah without question we cut off I think with the largest city what in
00:52 Europe without an airport is bonkers. It's dependent on money I guess but yeah as far as
00:59 me personally is concerned as someone from Sheffield I think it's quite important or very
01:05 important really that there's an airport, an international type airport close by that people
01:13 from, because obviously Sheffield's a big city and the surrounding areas Barnsley, Rotherham,
01:20 wherever in South Yorkshire it'd be great to get that up and running again and fingers crossed
01:25 they will do that.
