Itâs very unfortunate as the strongest point of the round robin is the local rivalries but itâs also hindering the growth of the game too in some ways.
If Kerry come into Munster they should get five home games.
Only change i would make is exactly that, bring kerry in with 5 games in Kilarney. Would be Bumper crowds each weekend from all other counties to make a day or weekend out of it

Killarney me hole.Tralee would be plenty big enough.The yerras wonât go to a big ball match in Killarney theyâll hardly bring 1k to a hurling match.

Leinster is already a 6 team championship sure. Theyâd replace whoever gets relegated. Not that itâll be happening this season anyway.
Sure Limerick and cork would bring a big crowd. Clare would too if they can get over the fear of the ferry.
Tipp crowd will go for the novelty of having a weekend in Kilarney
Thats what happens if a leinster team wins joe mc. Tipp had the competition rules updated as previously if kerry won joe mc they would have a play off against the bottom munster team.
They would in their bollox. There would be about 4 thousand at each of those matches tops.

Your being generous there lad.About 500 yerras and maybe 2k more if Limerick were playing.They could probably play it in a club pitch tbh
Thereâd be 4k at the Kerry county final id imagine.

Seems a lot of rural areas have turned their back on the inter county game.
Itâs detached from the grass roots of the game. Even the name âSuper eightsâ sounds like something theyâd come up with in rugby or American sports.

The Simple things make all the difference.
They should do the current way for one more year and then try the two to qualify for three years. They are close to the perfect format.
Thats how they should have set up if they wanted round robin. Yeah you might get a dead rubber but nearly all games are dead rubber with the current format
Ah theyâre not really. Thereâs a rip roaring game between Cork and Donegal now and nobody even knows itâs on. The qualifier system with the round 1 and 2 losers going into a Tailteann Cup/B tournament was the perfect system. Everyone guaranteed a fair 3 games.

GoGo isnât even showing Cork v Donegal. Theyâre showing some Tylenol Cup game involving Sligo though I think.

Sligo v Antrim. Two teams who are already safely through to the knockout stages. A very unusual choice but it was probably made weeks ago.
