    Back in the day, 2009, I had this fanciful championship structure that just reorganised the season for the summer. I have to root it out.

    I like the proposal.

    There is not enough at stake in the present league.
    The proposed new system would enhance the league and championship.
    It has a symmetry in contrast to the present championship.
    It might be easier to sell Season tickets.

    I also like the Provincial system and the Champions League system.
    I think I said this before in another thread but I would favour all three.
    Run them in a 3 year cycle and see how they pan out.

    That wouldn't be bad and allows clubs get games as well. Would teams really have less training??

    I'd imagine so, you can't be flogging teams and sending them out weekend after weekend to play games. I think you'd end up with a preseason much the same as other sports. Fitness will come through the number of games played. If you had the second fifteen line out against the third fifteen in the county in challenge games you'd have a serious development system in place. That would cost next to nothing bar insurance.

    At the moment its a bit of a sickner to wait all year for your team to tog out and theres 3 or 4 games and its over and I'm from an averagely good county. Can only imagine how bad it is to be from the less competitive counties.

    This I think is a possible way the season should be laid out. It gives every team a good run but keeps some semblance of the current end of season. It also allows for rounds of club games. Obviously counties bowing out of the championship early may get an extra round or two complete.
    It may even leave the door open to have the club finals at the end of October which would really make it the pinnacle of the GAA Season.

    I have listed all dates as Sundays except the hurling final weekend but I think the hurling and football could alternate their matches to Saturdays and Sundays after each round.
