“Having consulted with key stakeholders and the Safety Advisory Group, we have been strongly recommended by the latter to postpone tomorrow’s Championship fixture against Oxford United, so it has therefore been postponed,” Plymouth Argyle said in a statement.
“This decision has been made early to avoid lengthy travel to Plymouth in difficult weather conditions and also in the best interests of supporter safety, as we would never put the safety of fans, staff or players at risk.
“There is a real danger of flying debris and potential falling trees which could cause danger to life, with damage to buildings and homes also a real possibility.
“Roads, bridges and railway lines could also close, and the stadium and surrounding area may be hit by power cuts.”
Argyle say tickets already bought for the game will be valid for the rescheduled fixture.
The game had a key bearing on the bottom half of the division – Argyle are one place and two points above the relegation places while Oxford are a point and four places above them.
Scheduled horse racing meetings at Sandown Park, Aintree, Chepstow and Wetherby are also subject to precautionary inspections on Saturday morning.
