The majority of the people against the west harbor are against it because bob young is and has threatend to move the team. If he was for it they wouldn't be doing much complaining. I dont think his team is finished because the CFL cant survive with just 7 teams. A Possible scenario would be is the Ottawa team gets fast tracked a year earlier (2012) and he folds the ticat team after the 2011 season. The players would be available just as a draft to Ottawa. The expansion fee for Ottawa is $7 million dollars, we could speculate they give that money to Bob Young (possibly)..or he just cuts his losses and goes home. I could be wrong but if the CFL doesn't see any interest from any other city in the next few years i don't see any other option. It is ironic that Ottawa is getting a team since they already lost them twice already and its a unknown whether it would work..but that's the CFL for you. Marc Cohon has stated Hamilton wouldn't get another team if they don't get their way...also amusing since ottawa folded twice and this is the 3rd time they have tried but anyway!. Mark Cohon wont be commissioner forever and if somebody came around and there was a proper stadium i can't see too many CFL teams turning down a cool million bucks each (which is alot in CFL terms). If the team starts winning more games the attendance will easily ave more than 25,000 this year..does he really think he can get much more than that somewhere else when the cfl average is 29,000 thousand?, It's a complete unknown to anyone and if someone felt for sure they could there would be a few cities lined up to get a team.
