Is the earlier Championship a success or failure?

Its more apparent now that the GPA's big push for the split season was nothing to do with average club players and all to do with the lure of the Dollar for the elites.

I love a bit of GPA bashing myself, but it wasn't them that drove the split season.

What really drove it over the line was playing Club Championships first after the Covid closedown in 2020 .
Virtually everybody said Club Championships should be played when  no County games were happening.
Weren't the AI hurling and football Finals already brought forward a few weeks in 18 and 19?

How would it have fared if a summer World Cup had taken place?

I don't think it would have.

We are approaching the peak of the season and next year it will coincide with the Euros.

Fifa would have reprogrammed ,obviously.

Busy with the J1s this summer, Chicago GAA are to live stream games. plenty more county players gone to San Francisco, Boston, New York, Philadelphia i wonder will they do the same.

We near the end of the county season, and most club fball about round 12/15, the time for club fball, has seen alot of players piss off to America.

Club games, club games all over the country, plenty of which I'll have next to no interest in.

Seeing as most adult club championships won't start till August anyway I'd suspect AI Finals will be a week or 2 later next year or 2.

This. There are teams in America that would challenge for an all-ireland. I expect them to look at the structure again, bound to be having second thoughts.

At this rate Sky Sports will be buying the rights to US GAA, that's where it's all happening . They must be delighted over there with the competitions they can now organise for 6 weeks.

Make all temporary transfers last for 6 months.
