Is the earlier Championship a success or failure?

I'd love to hear Meyler's solution / suggestions.

If it's something simple like e.g club leagues must be wrapped up by August and just proceed without county players, then whilst it might not be popular, at least it's practical.

If it's something else then I'm all ears.

If he's just sounding off though, with nothing much in mind, then he needs to hold his tongue.

Who is making him play? He doesn't have to do it. What is the major problem if he decides to walk away? None that I can see.

If MOR can build a panel of 35 committed players and win an All Ireland and this guy can't give the commitment then what odds? It'll not matter to most.

If MOR can't build a winning panel because too many opt out, then Tyrone supporters may be disappointed, but again, so what?

If the level of commitment required to compete at County level is on the rise, it's only because amateur players are prepared to engage. If more players choose to do less, then standards of S&C will fall, but again so what?

Odds are the paying public will end up with a more entertaining spectacle anyway.

Whether the split season is a success or a failure, it's a long time between the end of July and the start of the league.

Get yourself to a few club games.

How many adult Championship football and hurling games took place over the last 8 weeks?

I'd say 75 in Roscommon (excluding JBFC).
Could we say 3,000 nationwide ?
