That's more than fair and I admire you and wish that I was more enticed to play it myself as a young lad, even though at 23 I can probably still be considered young l'd say. Of course there are exceptions to what I said and a select but passionate group of hurlers all over the county. You have to acknowledge that that's not the norm within this county, though? I didn't mean to speak on behalf of the county here but merely state my reasons, and reasons I believe to be a common reason that hurling is not as large in the county as it has the potential to be.

That is an interesting viewpoint. An idea I've had that I feel could realistically work was something along the lines of. March/April Provincial championships, start of club championships can be scheduled around Provincial championship games Football championship: 2 tiers of 16 split into 8 divisions. Tier 1 would include 4 Provincial champions, Finalists of Previous season's tier 2 championship plus then teams from the previous season's tier 1. You would have 12 teams guaranteed to be tier 1. Top 5 from each of the previous season's tier 1 plus the tier 2 finalists. 6th and 7th placed teams from the tier 1 group stage are not guaranteed a spot the following season if a tier 2 team goes on to win their provincial championship the following year. I thought this to be a decent solution. The main competition was very much like a National League style competition but that Provincial champions were still given a shot at the All Ireland. I hadn't considered that It would be hard to take for a team to lose out on a tier 1 place they'd thought they'd secured by virtue of a Provincial champion usurping them.
