If the GAA want casual fans to go then it's a stupid time. I'll be there as always for a Roscommon game but I'll be watching something else before hand having a pint. Will 15k even attend the game ?

There was 30K at the game last year and it included the Dublin v Galway Leinster hurling game. There was a decent smattering of maroon around Croke Park that day.

Attendance won't be great. A round of Dublin club games Division 1-4 fixed for 6-30 that evening.
Poor form by Dublin CB.

They had a round of junior games on 3 mornings of Leinster championship games. With looking to have leagues wrapped before club championship no leeway to move games.

Sunday?
League games with us are all on friday evenings now, any reason why that couldn't happen?

Over the summer the lower end junior games are played on Monday night. Junior Divisons 5-8 Sunday mornings. Not sure why don't play on a Friday as pitches shouldn't be an issue. I'm sure players and referees want rather game out of the way than waiting for Sunday.
