The obvious way forward is for Dublin to play every County in Croke Park over 31 weekends.
Then tot up the points (2 = win 1= draw and 0=loss)
Team with most points win All Ireland.
Win Win Win situation - Dubs get to play all their games in Croke Park with big crowds and loads of money for GAA; Every County gets a game in Croke Park  and of course Dublin win Sam every year.
Simple really  :D
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

are you referring the the league that every county has shocking attendances for due to the poor standard of the competition and football?

No it is a serious question.

and its a serious answer, Dublin played two high profile games in the league - one in 2003 against Armagh and 52k turned up and 83k for the Tyrone game under flood lights so there is reason t believe the support is there for Non Summer games but that league is treated like a total joke by the GAA and most teams so do not expect fans to see it any differently and this is the same all over the country!

2003 against Armagh;  Armagh All-Ireland Champions - kids were free in - I was there - The Tyrone game was first game ever under lights - well marketed - wasn't there - not from Tyrone but I persume kids were free - them two exceptional games aside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont understand your point or what u expect as you are asking is the interest there and there are two games we can look at that were properly marketed but i was at both of those games and that standard was still poor. I wouldnt expect anymore a league game tho in its current format as it is mainly a pre season warm up for most teams!

Sorry I misread the thread as How many times a year would the Dubs fill Croke Park ? - Answer in championship times and fair play - brings great colour and atmosphere.
