[QUOTE="Cork93, post: 6981638, member: 45699"] I don’t think the name of the championship will decide how a club is going to vote. More so the fact that option b gives intermediate A clubs another county board run grade to drop into if things go badly for them and they were to be relegated. And the fact that it gives junior A clubs a chance to get up to the “Premier junior” grade next season by just winning their division, means that any club with aspirations of rising through the grades of cork football will jump at the chance to do so. Hurling focused clubs might not be in the same train of thought as there is already a lower intermediate grade that will become the premier junior grade. But football clubs will more than likely jump at the chance of option b for the above reasons, not just because of the name of the grade. Say they called the top 5 grades senior, intermediate, junior a , junior b and junior c, with junior d downwards being run by the divisions. I would still vote option b even with these names for the grades. The chance to play a structured county run championship is far more appealing than a divisional run one. Seandun was straight knockout last year, imokilly this year want to play football in either may or October/November. Any club would be crazy not to want to stay up at “premier junior level” or higher, and have a structured season with at least 3 championship games. Forget clubs/boards/team management/Munster or all Ireland championships and focus on the player. A full season mapped out for the next 9 months, can actually plan holidays and social lives around it, with very little chance of change. It’s great for players and that’s the most important thing at the end of the day. [/QUOTE]
