GPA back to the future with plans for All-Ireland football championship

So will the GPA find consensus among its members on this latest idea of theirs to restructure the All-Ireland senior football championship?

They were unsuccessful in doing so two years ago. While there was tentative support given to a Champions League-style format, there was still strong backing for the provincial structures.

Back then, the GPA membership had been asked by their executive to debate four different proposals, all of which recommended doing away with the provincial competitions. Their opinions were forwarded to the Football Review Committee although Eugene McGee’s committee were never going to back a system that ignored Munster, Leinster, Connacht and Ulster.
