The Wicklow manager continued: “I know the argument the GPA [Gaelic Players’ Association] put up against Friday night games, but I think it is something that needs to be considered again.
“When you go back to early 2000s when we used bank holiday Mondays [for games] there were massive days out in Croke Park and I know north and south have different bank holidays, but I think we could make it work.
“I think it is the way forward at inter-county level. I know there will be problems and there are lots of arguments against it, but we’ve made a lot of things happen and I think we could make it happen.”
McConville is in favour of the introduction of a select few Friday night games per season for each side.
He believes it would help mitigate against the fixture pile up that Championship and All-Ireland or Tailteann Cup commitments bring on top of the club season for players.
“It might only happen once or twice a year a Friday night game for each team, but I’m sure we could make it happen.
“It just seems as if there were a lot of games this weekend, last weekend and there are a lot coming next weekend and it would alleviate some traffic against these weekends of games.”
