A club of our size having an official airport partner is odd. If we're getting more income though I'm happy.
Wish they'd stop calling it Doncaster Sheffield, it's got feck all to do with Sheffield, they had an airport and cocked it up. It's Doncaster.Also I think the Blades offer tickets to Malta or somewhere like that as half time draw prizes because of the links.
What perks did that massive league one club get when they were official partners? I do like this sound of discounted tickets.
Should have just been called "Finningley" IMHO..Then again, given the naming convention of some UK airports I am surprised it isn't called "London South Yorkshire"..!!
Don't forget Joe Cocker BB...
does mean the Virgin Rail rumour was just that, a rumour??... not that it matters as long as the moneys coming in....

Most departure boards just put Doncaster on some do add /sheff but the few places I and others have flown back from just say Doncaster.Have anyone seen the picture on dros think copps is on his tip toes
Doncaster has a world famous racecourse, is the hub of the east coast railway, built most of the famous steam locomotives, is the home of early aviation, invented butterscotch, the flushing toilet, has an international airport...............AND is the birthplace of Kevin Keegan.Sheffield has got had Steel. It's now got.........erm........FECK ALL, and it's only claim to fame is its close proximity to Doncaster Sheffield international airport.

I don't quite take onboard the problem that propkr from Doncaster have with clarkson it's not as if he is a mass murderer or a paid up member to likes of isisChrist if there was somebody born and brought up in Doncaster that did join isis and fly out there and take part ,I bet my last dollar that it would not bring up as much hate or than what clarkson is getting from people from donny > work that out
