2022 Premier Senior Hurling

[SoundMan]

Which of the club or the inter county player deserve to play in the son more, and i can guarantee you that an all ireland final played in december would be a sell out.n

Who's son?

 

[red&blue]

Intercounty training could commence in both codes after the quarter final for those who are out of BOTH codes with their clubs,that should satisfy inter county managers.

You reckon? They’d go apeshit

It be great if it happened, put them back in their box

 

[Dagame]

The inter-county championship is the biggest money spinner and you want the AI finals played when the weather is shite? Think again please.

Well then if u want it that way put the Finals back on in August it was like a sprint this year to get things finshed up.

If Glen ,Barrs and Imokilly win theirs quarter final you could have Erins own v Barrs and Glen v Imokilly in the semi finals

The majority of club players across the country are playing championship games in July, august and September the best months of the year……for the absolute vast majority of clubs it’s the county title that counts, everything after that is a bonus. Are fellas serious about running club first? When does the national league start? When does the championship? Flog county players all spring and summmer and then all winter?
This split season hasn’t even finished and fellas want to change it……club players of which most of us have been one want 2 things essentially - a confirmed games calendar and as many games as possible without being flogged.
We know have that at least in cork- a proper league structure and a proper championship structure, it seems to be working and the time to review it is after it’s concluded.
Every time you constrict the intercounty game like the gaa rightly did with the split season you reduce commercial revenue which means less trickle down money for clubs.
Clubs are foremost and the proof of that is getting the best months of the year to play championship matches

Let them run side by side and take the power away from county Managers 2 weeks intercounty then back with the club and so on and so forth 12 months to get the whole thing done it should be possible then you have best of both worlds.

Yes clubs are the lifeblood of the game but an All Ireland medal is the top honour for most guys who've already won a county imho. Club and intercounty should run in the good weather months. It shouldn't always be an either or between county championship and inter-county imho. Let County Championship take precedence in the event of a clash, the way inter-County used to, but the All Ireland Championship was run off with undue haste this year I think. They can surely exist side by side in generally the same months without too much hassle surely.

This just isn’t possible and it’s not possible to run side by side…..county managers are appointed by county executives who are appointed by county board delegates who are appointed by clubs……the responsibility is collective, the county manager is doing his job as he sees it, it’s upto others to call him up and that won’t happen. The split season is logical and a positive move, this constant trying to curtail or diminish intercounty games I don’t understand

Running them side by side is impossible as already said,junior we are flogging the inter county player what ever way we run both championships. I would have the league between Jan and March,,club mid april to mid August and the rest for the intercounty championship. This would work but those in charge will not let it happen as they think you would get more for a munster final in June than you would get in mid October.

I tend to agree with them. The weather effects of Munster Finals tended to be more of the sunburn than frostbite variety.

League between Jan and March is fair enough I think, but mid-April to mid-August for club championship seems a very long time, especially as the vast majority of clubs aren't going to be involved in the latter stages of the League. Does the club fixture list HAVE to be out before the end of February? The latter stages of county and club competitions isn't going to affect the majority of counties and clubs so surely some workaround can be done to better facilitate all and not make the intercounty competition a lottery with bad weather and sometimes unplayable pitches either.
