    Should the All-Ireland final revert to September?

    Should the All-Ireland final revert to September?

    GAA president Jarlath Burns has said a return to September All-Ireland finals is possible, but only if counties were willing to adopt uniformity in their own club championships.  
    Speaking to GAAGO's new 'Ratified' discussion forum he said the different formats in counties made it too great a challenge to develop a master fixtures plan that finished in September.  
    What do you think? Would you like to see the All-Ireland final return to September?  
    Joining Andrea to discuss is Off the Ball’s Eoin Sheehan.
