Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[Take_her_back_ref]

Doesn't really matter whether people think it's better for club to go first or county. Ultimately it'll come down to a financial decision. Croke Park has been placed under huge pressure with the way this season has panned out. If it comes to the point that club has to go first to raise the funds then so be it.

Have they not said that 2022 it'll be County first then Club in July. If Club starts first this year players will go 12 months without football. 

In addition whereas County grounds are heavily funded so that pitches are good in January, at Club level not so much. There will either be a lot of postponements OR Clubs having higher pitch costs.

This is a massive decision that's about to made.......if they decide to go club first in 2021 I dont see how they change from that going forward. It would mean a 12 month break of no club football to change it!
I think it has to be county first all the time but we shall see as money talks.

Love to see the clubs given a chance first. So much more entertaining than the drivel served up by County teams

2 separate seasons is all that matters - the club and county must play at different times.
Clubs should go first - then County in July ( as quite simply it is more high profile and generates the income - so it should be played at best time of year.
Also who says Ulster club etc has to be scrapped? - could it go again after into county - in Sept/ Oct?
In its more or less traditional spot - would only be a few players in each county playing.

So maybe - Feb - June (Club)
July - sept/ Oct inter county
Oct/ Nov - Ulster club / AI club

Also this area that clubs need a 2 month preseason is utter nonsense - 4 weeks would be more than enough. The 2 months / 12 weeks - is just so the manager merry go round can get extra money from taking clubs. Look at last year, one of the best seasons ever in Tyrone and there was no big 2 month preseason build up.

Wouldn't say that now.

Brendan Trainor in with Augher this year. Don't know if as the main man or part of a management team. Been assistant to Harbinson with Antrim this past couple of years.

There can't be many teams still waiting to appoint management can there?

Paddy Campbell, former Donegal player, now in at Owen Roes.

Don't remember a better championship in Tyrone
Every game was too quality and there was no need for a 2/3 month preseason - 4 weeks more than enough

If club season ends in june some teams will be out of their championship in may and not play another game for 9 months.....yea that sounds great !

One season though.

Plenty of options for young fellas to go out and enjoy themselves after 18 months being locked up in their house.

One season Angelo?
Why what changes in 2022?

No argument on the quality of the Championship, but if you think teams weren't breaking the training ban you are not correct. The fact there were quite a number of contests that went into ET and right down to the wire wasn't luck, it was due to the fact teams were so fit.

Teams are training and breaking regulations right now. Take a trip to MUSA tonight, or any lighted area and you'll see a team training.

If you think 4 weeks is enough to train for a club championship you are dead wrong and shows you haven't ever kicked a ball. The reason the club championship in Tyrone last year was so good I would say is because clubs had access to their whole playing squad, the whole season.

MUSA pitches are closed so you'd be wasting your time tonight.
