There seems to be momentum gathering among pundits, gaa journalists (including ex-players), some GAA officials and some supporters to get a debate going with an ambition to move the finals back. I can sense no buy-in from current players, club or county to even entertain a change back. A lot of supporters also, especially those that actively support and attend club games, don't seem to be as exercised, that is they are content enough with the shortened intercounty season. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 968 - 10/07/2025 15:52:04 2624847 Link 1 |
It's not intermingled. Club League games don't have county players playing in them.

I can see the argument that the intercounty season is too condensed myself. A far better solution to this problem is to have less intercounty games. Starting with getting rid of League Finsls. I do also think that the AI Finals going back 2 weeks should be doable also, moreso for promotion of the games reasons than anything else, with club finals going back the same. I get the argument about pitches and light, but neither are any worse in the middle of October than they are at the beginning of the month.

Moving the all Ireland finals back, impacts club players in the 8-10 counties who might make an Ireland semi. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1505 - 10/07/2025 18:18:02 2624872 Link 0 |
That was always the case before the present system apart from when the GAA briefly had April designated as club month when county players could play with their clubs.
