On the subject of East Midlands airport - worth noting that it's not just a passenger terminal. DHL have a large operation based there (I think it's their main airfreight hub for the UK), and asking them if they wouldn't mind diverting their flights to Birmingham or anywhere else is not feasible, as they have warehousing and road transport all set up at EMA. From what I've seen, the proposal is to reduce the normal airport activity during the GP, not the whole weekend, and to have chartered flights coming in for GP punters. Sounds like a fun job for someone.....
