The hurling situation next season is a total and utter farce. I mean weak hurling counties got to dictate how the strong hurling counties will play. The strong hurling counties should tell the others to work away and they'll sit next year out.

Itssoeasy

New dawn my arse. An utter mess and farce.

Why does the hurling need to be so complicated? I lost ger canning once he started talking about Kerry coming out of the round robin. Do they need to add in all these provisos?

It got very complicated at the Kerry point aswell. I mean if it's not broken don't fix it lads.

April is free. Jesus thanks Cyril. It's going to ruin club hurling.

Jesus, they didn't leave the Leinster fixtures on screen for long.

God the hurling is a mess. It's basically another league. No real knock out element to it which will take away from the games.

Made a right balls of changing the hurling championship.

This new system will keep all those people who were giving out that we were in Leinster the last two years happy anyway

I like the new hurling layout besides the Kerry situation. Just relegate one of the Munster teams ffs.

Offaly or Wicklow will have home advantage against Dublin.

I hope to jasus Gilroy insists on us playing the Cats in Parnell Park.

I was sceptical about the new set ups I have to say but looking at the draws they start to make sense. Hurling in particular is going to draw huge increase in attendances. There is not a Munster game that anyone would put the house on and Galway v Cats in Salthill and a couple other Leinster games will be sell outs. All good, even if outcome is the same top teams, but that's as it should be.

Dublin fans have probably got more use out of Tullamore over the past 6-7 years between Hurling and U21 games then Offaly seniors have...

PTH2009

Huge possiblity Waterford will have too play there home games in a neutral venue as that farce of a stadium we have won't fit enough people esp when you consider were due to play Tipp and Cork at home

OttoPilot

Tullamore was a fantastic venue for Kildare Meath

I already have my favourite parking spot, watering hole & oxygen bar picked out. Plus, there is DIVINE little oyster & absinthe bistro just behind the bookies on Barrack Street. To. Die. For.

Regarding Munster hurling - attendances might take a hit.
4 weekends in a row for some - tough for the likes of families going to all those matches. Or like myself and a lot of others, I no longer live in my home county so I doubt I'll be going to matches 4 weekends in a row.

Ridiculous changes and for what?
People were saying the championship was boring because the same teams were winning.
It's upto the other teams to step-up, which they did last year and it was a great championship from a neutral's point of view.
