Wexford want home advantage for lesser lights in qualifiers

A simple motion to provide home advantage to the weaker county in both hurling and football All-Ireland qualifiers may be a more acceptable alternative to the football championship proposals.

Wexford are calling for both competitions to be graded by the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) so that the lower-graded team is automatically afforded home advantage in backdoor games.

As doubts grow about the strength of shortlisted recommendations ahead of a Central Council next week, delegates at Congress next month may view the venue idea, which requires no structural changes, as a more palatable option.
