The NI Football League launched its five-year strategy on Wednesday
The Northern Ireland Football League has launched a new five-year strategy document which could lead to the introduction of summer football here.
He said: "It will mean massive change, and we are working with the Irish FA on this because the Irish Cup would also have to change. It is now time to sit down and discuss that plan. "We know that clubs and fans are very passionate around Boxing Day games, so something like starting in May and running to February would be a possible starting blueprint.
"We also have better weather, pitches, and it prepares our teams better for European games. There are lots of factors, good and bad. But Lawlor says there was "no resistance" when the strategy document was presented to clubs on Tuesday night. "If we don't do something now then in 10 years' time we will still be having these conversations and debates. We will have managers and owners speaking out.
