I'd liek to see a team in Ottawa again. I think there could be fan support there.
But there have been so many teams start up and fail, I don't blame the fans for not trusting any CFL team.
The only way it will work would be for some owner with lots of money, hire good football people and be willing to take a bath on the franchise for 3 or 4 years. If a franchise can run that long, build a succussful team on the field, and have no whispers of fiscal issues or threats to fold the team, then (and only then) will fans be able to trust that they can invest some passion for this team.
As it is now they will never get a solid base because no one can trust the team they are rooting for will be back on the field next year.
