NIFL bosses have moved to provide clarity over this weekend's proposed league games in the light of Storm Amy.
"To provide clarity, the following protocols will apply to this weekend's fixtures, taking into account not just venues but also players, staff and supporters safety," explained a spokesperson.
They include the following:
1. Yellow Weather Warning Zones (Home Venue)
If a home venue is located in a YELLOW warning zone the game remains on unless a club requests a postponement and it can be shown that the proximity of effects of an adjacent amber/red zone have a direct impact on the clubs ability to fulfil the fixture.
2. Amber/Red Weather Warning Zones (Home Venue)
If a home venue is located in an AMBER/RED warning zone the game will be postponed.
3. Amber/Red Weather Warning Zones (Away Club Location)
If an away club is located in an AMBER/RED warning zone the game will be postponed due to travel concerns.
"We will meet with men’s Premiership clubs scheduled to play tonight at noon today to discuss the current weather warnings," continued the spokesperson.
"Discussions will also be held with clubs from other divisions outside the men’s Premiership to ensure a consistent approach across all competitions.
"Again, as stated, these measures are designed to balance the importance of fulfilling fixtures with the safety of all involved.
"All games scheduled for Saturday October 4 remain on and will be reviewed tomorrow morning."
