Replying To Sean.66: "What do people think of the wonderfull GAA think tanks that have come up with yet another ridiculous idea...?

Money is all the Gaa are thinking about. Craziest thing I've ever heard. Breffinifan (Cavan) - Posts: 91 - 04/08/2016 21:34:53 1895899 Link

How does this proposal impact club players from the current situation? There will be no county players available from the teams at the latter stages as is currently the case. By tightening the calendar many counties will be finished earlier so will release club players. It always feels that GAA people want everything to change and nothing to change at the same time...the proposals don't fix everything but they feel like a sensible step to a wider reform of the structures exiledincavan (Cavan) - Posts: 1 - 05/08/2016 09:12:26 1896020 Link

That's two extra games for each of the 8 counties. That does impact on club players. The championship will get held up in those 8 counties for 2 extra weekends. There is a clear lack of understanding at croke park level as to the suffering at club level. Breffinifan (Cavan) - Posts: 91 - 05/08/2016 10:56:41 1896096 Link
Why more Games in the Last Eight the elite end of the Championship. Charging Children into our games Increasing TV Revenue Streams .... Pay Per View.. Ticket Touting ... Marketing .. Branding .. Product .. We are supposed to be an Amateur Association run by Volunteers promoting our games and culture . rahanman (Cavan) - Posts: 127 - 05/08/2016 18:30:01 1896367 Link
