Replying To Seanfan:  "Who would be relegated to the TC?
Play offs between the 2B losers?
Ros, Kildare, Cavan and Derry this year"
That's about the size of it.

Replying To Whammo86:  "I'd think it likely the Provincials wither and die pretty quickly without that All Ireland link.

I don't think the status quo is fantastic for them though really either.

Having the National League completed before them lowers their impact."
Yeah, well look that's it. If anyone wants to complain about a suggestion that has provincial finalists entering the All Ireland in Round 3, let them bring a motion for promotion or relegation between the All Ireland championship and Tailteann Cup. Put up or shut up!

Regards lowering the impact though, the 4 finals were big events. I'd see the first 4 weekends of the provincial championships as missing an edge. The 8 finalists and 8 qualifiers entering at the same stage is the reason for that.
