Know a father of one of the players on the Waterford panel. He was at it yesterday.
Last time I was talking to him he did say the Tailteann cup has improved things in terms of players being willing to commit to football and the regular games. However in Waterford their footballers are fighing a battle in terms of the Waterford County Board. A lot of them wish they could do a Kilkenny and not compete in football at all.
Count me in as another who thinks a three-tier championship would make much more sense but I fear that the GAA politics of getting it passed would be close to almost impossible any time soon.
And how would three-tier championship help matters, will it be less or fight for Waterford footballers? Both Longford and Waterford still had outside chance of reaching the knock out stages and when only 75 people are turning up to watch it I can't imagine any lower tier competition than the Tailteann cup will draw much of an interest.
