Think 8 to 10 is a bit optimistic.

Could you explain to us how 'tradition' might win us an all Ireland?? Or indeed high population??

Do you think that might land us an all Ireland someday?

Well Meath are proof that tradion and population don't guarantee all irelands, but surely to have both helps the cause more then hinders it. Things can sometimes change fast hopefully by the end of this decade Meath can be competitive again.

You more or less state that tradition and population could land an all Ireland 'hopefully' in 8 to 10 years .
How though?

Can only put 15 men on the pitch, putting a few wins together would be realistic progress.

Do I seriously have to explain the numbers game to you, the more kids playing a particular game the greater the chance of finding a few gems, for example when was the last time a county with less then 100 thousand won the football all ireland, and when was the last time a traditional hurling county won the football all ireland.

Oh yeah! All that makes perfect sense…!

Tradition means little, maybe when we played old school football. However for whatever reason we have gotten left benind as game evolved. Has increase in population added greatly to playing numbers, especially the further we move from Dublin border and do additional numbers add up to more players wanting to play for Meath? Future success may depend on getting these people involved, chicken and egg springs to mind.
