Yes they can continue to play at Ivor Wynne but they could also fold. Ottawa is getting a team for 2013 and its possible Hamilton plays to the 2012 season but after that Bob Young folds the team . He can get compensated a little bit somehow..maybe the 7 million Ottawa expansion fee or some other way. Once the team folds the players would be subject to a draft for Ottawa..and players they dont want can be picked up in a supplimentary draft by other teams after. Its not totally out of the question for that to happen..i realy dont think Bob Young wants to pack the team up and head to another province..if this stadium doesnt happen i think he will have enough. We can disagree about stadium location with him all we want but he only bought the team and kept them going because it was in Hamilton, he wouldnt have purchased any other available team. Bob Young said the West Harbor location would be no worse than the current stadium and he rejected it...why would anyone think he would want to stay after the 2011 season at Ivor Wynne. Maybe the city will get desperate and do something like Bratina mentioned and buy up any unsold tickets to make it atleast a break even situation but i realy think Bob Young is finished if the doesnt get a new stadium in the location he wants.
