Noticed this post in the All-Ireland thread and upon looking at it it's remarkable how close the population tallies to counties standing in football. I'm colour coding the list to show. Division 1 Division 2 Division 3 Division 4 1 Dublin 1,273,069 2 Antrim 618,108 3 Down 531,665 4 Cork 519,032 5 Galway 250,541 6 Derry…

A great point. Monaghan have a population slightly bigger than Carlow's but are very competitive in terms of the Ulster and All ireland championship. I came across a stat that their annual Cúl camps attract around 3000 youngsters a while back which is phenomenal.

Probably the advantage of having a club championship that treats the club players with a bit of appreciation. What is it, 14 rounds minimum every year with 6 set aside for county players to be involved, the other 8 for the club players to keep active? Supposed to have a great system for second string sides as well with plenty of games for them.

It's a great incentive to keep players playing if you know your going to have a proper season, and much easier to attract young lads to the sport as well. Lads want to play games, not train incessantly. Ultimately, they get the most out of their population.
