Allen: League weighted against struggling teams
He claims the league is weighted against the teams struggling at the moment and prevents counties from creating a basis to work off. The former All-Ireland winning manager believes the GAA must scrap pre-season tournaments like the Waterford Crystal trophy and Walsh Cup if needs be to provide teams to create room for an expanded league.
“I have very strong feelings about how the league is structured. The current format is elitist, anti-promotion, anti-development,” he said. “At the moment on the inter-county scene Kilkenny are the monopoly. They dominate and fair play to them for that.
