Remains to be seen will it be nothing more than a vanity project.

Switching the Connacht final to Croke Park was a no brainer. Last number of Mayo v Galway championship matches had 20k plus in attendance and it would have been a nightmare for Prenty and Co with just 5,000 tickets to pass around.

Hmmm I think we had a better chance in Castlebar to be honest.
Can't see us winning in Croker.

Such a stupid idea. We can only have 3500 in MacHale park, yet 18000 people from Galway and Mayo can pack on to buses and trains to Dublin for a match.

These Covid rules don't make much sense.

Gives one a sore head trying to understand the logic of some rules.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Packed buses and trains to Dublin would be the issue, remember we were told by NPHET the problem isn't the crowd inside stadiums but what happens before and after the match.

Mayo could probably fill their allocation just with their Dublin based supporters

I imagine Mayo are happy enough alright. They've a great recent record in CP (Dublin apart) while Galway have always had a decent record up in Castlebar.

packed buses and trains are not permitted either .

social distancing is at 2m .

mchale park is allowed 3500 .

most complaining wouldnt get a ticket and most infuriating aspect to me is the ones complaining didnt bother their holes last sunday whilst there were people like myself went to the bother of taxi into heuston and train to castlebar . left malahide in dublin at 6:30 am , then discovered we had to get bus transfer to portarlington . and to think these absolute hypocrites were sat on their couch 20 miles down the rd and coulnt be arsed cause it was raining and them starting a castlebar or nowhere this evening . f...ing Irish

Mayo will be thrilled with this move, up to Galway to step it up now, Mayo will perform well in CP.

If there is a Second or even a Third tier competition, it will only be there to get these counties out of the way.

Football's biggest problem is the lack of competition. This is a curse. Dublin.or Kerry is Cholera or the Plague.
When will we see Sam up.North again ?

Then the county system. Dublin is c 40 times bigger than Leitrim. If Dublin leverages its population and financial power the system doesn't work.

For most counties the Disposable Heroes quote applies :

"The height of mediocrity is the challenge
Crawling through the entrails  of imbalance."

Shunting D3 and 4 into another competition won't fix the problems.

Dublin has to be subdivided. I also think smaller counties should amalgamate for championship only.

If only there was a really successful model somewhere in the gaa whereby tams are placed in tiers based on their ability and can compete against similar standard teams.

Once again the GAA put the people first and show they are of the people. 

Fair dues!
