Sports to watch during Lockdown

No gates and no tv income so would probably just cost them money.

Why would they bother their holes finishing off the league if they could play championship instead.

As I said before, they donā€™t know what they are doing in Croke park at the moment, so no one else has a breeze either

Incorrect. County squads have been informed. Presume the structures of championship is the reason. Arenā€™t they fiddling with the football structure.

The the tv deals theyā€™ve locked themselves into is the reason they arenā€™t playing a ā€œchampionshipā€.

Sure the structure can be whatever they want it to be

There will be a limit on ā€œmass gatheringsā€ until the end of the year at least. You can forget championship for this year. The best youā€™ll get is a few club games and finishing out the league.

I think its too early to tell anything yet lads, thereā€™s a good chance thereā€™ll be no championship, but sure why make that call now? Why not wait and see

Iā€™m pretty sure 5k limit on gatherings and the tv deals are the reason. Basically money. If they break from agreed structures it voids the deals. Sky will laugh at them and rte arenā€™t going to pony up extra cash to compensate the lack of gate income is my reading of it.

Sure the 5k limit on gatherings is only till September and could be reviewed in time. The TV lads would surely prefer some matches to no matches. If we are still in lockdown at that stage viewing figures would be through the roof

Weā€™ll see. Julio enjoy the rest of the weekend :facepunch:

Time will tell I suppose. Hopefully we can get the club back at least. The all Ireland club can act as the all Ireland like the good old days

I forgot to add my source is confident clubs will be allowed play in July/august

A few immature 24 year olds get the big scoop? Yeah right.

Has any source of yours ever got anything right before in the history of the forum?

Yes

@Julio_Geordio was proclaiming the start of the championship was in June as a racing certainty only a few short days ago.
Trust nothing he says on this matter. Thereā€™s clearly vested interests at stake.

Was I? I pretty sure I only ever said it would be later in the summer.

There will be a championship.

Only two rounds of the league to play so you could conclude it in 7 days.

Finishing the leagues out and scrapping the Championship has always made sense to me with the current situation.

Youā€™re a bigger eejit to entertain that bull shit artist
