The Linfield Management Committee agreed to reimburse supporters who may have been inconvenienced by last Saturday's unfortunate weather and subsequent postponing of the opening JJB Sports Premiership game as quickly as possible.

This offer will apply to all supporters home or away, whether they were inconvenienced on Saturday or not.

Linfield FC point out that it would be virtually impossible to ascertain who was and who was not in attendance at Saturday's game and the club hopes that supporters understand and accept this gesture as a suitable way of reimbursing those supporters who were ( through no fault of this club ) inconvenienced by the unforseen postponement of this fixture.

Due to a heavy fixture load, it could be some time before the Cliftonville game could be rearranged and Linfield wantedhe issue of refunds cleared up as soon as possible, hence the decision to grant free admission to this week's game.

Linfield are working closely with Cliftonville regarding their supporters who were inconvenienced and when a decision has been reached, they will announce it to their supporters.
