Playing a Tier 2 Final with the main Final will mean the participants getting about 2,000 tickets each!!

Tier 2 final the night before the final, with tickets to the final for both panels.

Wicklow never gave a shît about football before so it's no surprise to see that hasn't changed.

How short are GAA attention spans? Their proposal is almost point for point a ressurection of the absolutely squalid failure that was the Tommy Murphy Cup.

Except for all the bits where it's completely different.

I'm cool with it but if I'm totally honest with myself as a mayo supporter I wouldn't be as keen if we were to drop outside the top tier , so my conclusion is it's up to the counties that would be effected . The top eight counties should have no say
Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

wooly made a good point about a tier 2 competition in that it has to be their manin goal from the beginning of the year rather than something the are relegated to half way though the year.
If the winners could re enter the sam Maguire at sem final stage or something like it it could be a great incentive or bith dinalist promoted for the following year

HQ are really going to bite for that money-spinning AISF everyone's been waiting for, Kerry vs. Louth.

Last 12 would be the best place for the winners and a place in the Tier 1 the following year no matter where they finish in the NFL. .
I would also suggest the 2 promoted teams from D3 play in the main competition.
Although seeing he/she who knows everything is against it -Congress will never dare to vote for a Tier 2 Championship ::)

 Brilliant suggestion from Wicklow for a well thought out structured second tier All Ireland Championship.One caveat however.It would be important that the poor presentation of a previous attempt at introducing a secondary competition- ie the Tommy Murphy Cup- should not be repeated.This new proposed competition should be played along side the latter  stages of the Sam Maguire  Cup competition and marketed accordingly.All of the 32 counties should be treated equally in terms of opportunity in playing in a meaningful competition with a realistic chance of silverware attained on the biggest stage and biggest occasion of all.The reason why the current league system is so good and so competitive is that all counties are playing at their own level.All Division Three and Division Four league teams deserve the same fair treatment at championship level.Would not it be great to see Fermanagh or Clare play Sligo or Longford  in the second tier final as a curtain raiser to Dublin v Kerry in the Sam Maguire Cup decider?!

Similar to how most of Wicklow haven't darkened the doors at Aughrim, then.

Not many from Fermanagh, Clare, Sligo or Longford wouldn't get to see it in the flesh.

The dogs on the street know that it wouldn't work out like that, and instead they'd be playing it in Carrick on Shannon or Mullingar on a Saturday afternoon.
