Usl 2: vacanti 57 posti di medico di famiglia, ma nessuno fa domanda

Usl 2: vacanti 57 posti di medico di famiglia, ma nessuno fa domanda

Fronteggiare, laddove se ne presentasse la necessità, la carenza di medici di medicina generale, facendo ricorso come extrema ratio, al mantenimento, su base volontaria, dell’incarico convenzionale ai medici, anche oltre i 70 anni: questo l’obiettivo dell’accordo tra la Direzione Salute e Welfare della Regione Umbria e le Organizzazioni sindacali dei medici di medicina generale, approvato dalla…

The North Carolina USL-2 franchise, Carolina Railhawks, based out of Cary NC are selling off their office equipment, jerseys and essentially everything that represents their brand.  The real question is...does anyone notice?  

The average attendance for the games in 2010 was 2,241 with a low of 1,426 and a high of 2,879.  It hasn't seemed like it was attended that well.  Oddly enough, the team has won a lot of games.  But I'd imagine that given the branding of the team during my time living in the Triangle, I'd have to agree with the writer of this article's assertion that the team rarely publicized it's events or it's attendance very well.

A few important points:

the location of their stadium is terrible and a little difficult to find even if you know where it is.  Why not look for a location closer to one of the cities (Durham's downtown would be fantastic) or closer to the RBC Center?

The name is awful.  What is a railhawk and what does it have to do with Raleigh?  Here's the wiki explanation "The RailHawk is a fictitious bird of prey that combines the speed and power of the locomotive with the aggressive and fierce nature of a hawk. Cary originally grew out from a depot on the New Bern, NC - Hillsborough, NC rail line and the CSX and Amtrak lines run directly across from the team's grounds. Hawks are indigenous to the area."  Umm...okay.

Having experienced the games, the experience was pretty ho hum.  It didn't seem like they knew who they were marketing to or what they were about.  Uninspiring.

So what's next?  There are some rumors about Bojangles FC, but the team is currently owned by the NASL.  For now, the future of soccer in the Carolinas is up in the air.
