Carolina RailHawks owner Brian Wellman said in an interview yesterday that there was "no chance [the RailHawks] don't play" next season. This after the most recent developments in an ongoing dispute between the United Soccer League and the team.

In what league, however remains unknown. Wellman contends that the team is open to returning to the USL, but USL president Tim Holt said the RailHawks had "notified us several times of their decision to remove themselves from the USL.

The United States Soccer Federation called a meeting for today in New York City that will involve the USL and team owners. Wellman said he will be there.
