Dundee & Aberdeen agree kick-off time change for International broadcast reasons

[rangeral]

Fixture: Dundee v Aberdeen

Date: Saturday 16th October

Kick off: 6pm

The later time of 6.00pm for our cinch Premiership match against Dundee at Dens Park on 16th of October was at the request of both teams to allow for international broadcast.

It is part of the Club’s plan to trial different approaches in pursuit of attracting greater attendances and exposure. Feedback from fans will be welcomed and monitored to inform any future changes

 

[Coopertrueblue]

I'm sure there will be world wide clamour to watch that shite

 

[Saltcoats_Loyal]

I’d fancy an early evening for us Saturday kick off would be a good day out way the lads from the bus

 

[Negri's Black Eye]

What international audience has an interest in that snooze fest

 

[South Belfast Broxi]

International audience for Dundee vs Aberdeen

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

A Saturday 6pm at Ibrox would be superb.

 

[DechmontLoyal]

Is one of their fans working until 5:30, so they’ve delayed kick-off…?

 

[Supermac1872]

It would be fascinating to find out how many more people tune in comparatively to earlier fixtures.

Sceptical it’ll make a significant difference.

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

For the US. Aberdeen slowly turning into an Atlanta United feeder team.

 

[South Belfast Broxi]

Miss the 5.30- 6pm kick offs, they were great day trips back in the day

 

[Clay Davis]

Was it the tramps behaviour in 99, when they couldn’t take us winning the league at their pit, which put a stop to the Saturday night games?

Happened a fair amount in the scottish cup but can’t think of many league games since the end of that season.

 

[strathavenbear]

I remember a Saturday half 5 kick off at Tannadice. The supporters bus I used at the time arrived in Dundee for the pubs opening. I don't remember anything about the game ended up that drunk.

 

[Roscoblue]

Could be a problem if Griffiths is on a tag/curfew by then.

 

[Everywhere anywhere]

Is this the prelude for the much awaited Dundee v mhanks fixture in USA.

Still had Sunday 6.05pm kickoff for 1999/00 & 2000/01

Saturday 5.35pm 2001/02

except that game

 

[WinkieWATP]

I’m sure they will sell by the hundreds

 

[Madjid Moments]

Griffiths has a kids birthday party at lunchtime

 

[The hunter2]

I think for international they actually mean Forfar, Carnoustie and Arbroath

 

[remembertheepoch]

6.05pm kick offs mind they stopped them after May 99

 

[Clay Davis]

Saturday 5.35pm 2001/02

Yeah that sounds about right actually, I definitely remember an away game at Dunfermline 2000/01 which was a Saturday night(Konterman might have scored twice)

 

[EagleThursday]

Why not? Heard there’s a few admirers of Leigh Griffiths work on the beast wing at Rikers Island.

 

[Serenity Now]

Seems to be a bit of a waste of time. You usually have an English Premier League game at 5:30 pm on a Saturday. I can't see international football fans tuning into watch Dundee v Aberdeen or any SPFL game for that matter when the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd are playing.

 

[Tommy1912]

Atleast there trying out different things to get extra revenue in to our game. It should be applauded and not mocked.

 

[Shooders]

A Saturday 6pm at Ibrox would be superb.

Not for ma liver it wouldn't

Absolutely, more power to them.

Mines is already f*cked from being off work since March 2020, f*ck it.

 

[Texas ranger]

I know an Aberdeen “fan” over here. Well he says he’s an Aberdeen fan. He’s from Aberdeen but couldn’t tell you the name of a single player in their squad this year. Keeps going on about Gothenburg. I think he can be ruled out.

Had it away to hearts in Feb 2020 in the cup game.

Brighton was good mate saturday 5.30’ko


should be more games at that time instead of 12.30

 

[High Society]

A Saturday 6pm at Ibrox would be superb.

Absolute garbage, the busiest night of the week , fans getting tanked up before the game , nightmare

 

[Saltcoats_Loyal]

aww aye that would be terrible drunk fans enjoying themselfs

Absolute garbage, the busiest night of the week , fans getting tanked up before the game , nightmare

 

[DJ Blue]

Gives time for the Sheep farmers to get their flock inseminated.

I had just forgot about that thanks for the reminder!

 

[RfcIbrox]

For the US. Aberdeen slowly turning into an Atlanta United feeder team.

It’ll be hard to differentiate the tacking from an American football match.

 

[nybear]

did we not bin this idea along with Satan tv as for the diddy teams thinking it will get them more fans, even freebies woulnt fill their middens

 

[CaliforniaBlue1872]

Its all anyone out here's been talking about tbh

 

[Leopold]

Absolute garbage, the busiest night of the week , fans getting tanked up before the game , nightmare

Oh heavens, not drunk fans? How very awful

 

[rossgers]

A Saturday 6pm at Ibrox would be superb.

Looks like clubs can pick and choose ko time and international broadcaster. We should clean up.

 

[Bacachger]

I'm sure there will be world wide clamour to watch that shite

Haha, brilliant!!

 

[Dean Learner]

Fair play to them for trying something new but 6pm is a lady's front bottom of a kick off time IMO. Not late enough to be a proper night game and not early enough that you can still have your full night to do whatever else.

 

[BigBill32]

Yes agree

 

[High Society]

Sorry , what am I thinking. Maybe they’ll sing stupid songs and film themselves then post it on social media, nah surely not. Who would be that fcukin stupid….
Drunk fans have a track record of causing problems for our club. never understand the need to get drunk to watch Rangers, never will

The most recent example of which would have been a…1500 kick off. Maybe all games should be moved to 8am to temper this evil!

Keep fighting the good fight sister

Lol!
Just imagine if it’d been a 6pm ko?
You keep on rocking’ Jakey

 

[Jan Wyck]

Gives Strachan the chance to watch both his employers games.

 

[sh3lldon]

Streaming for free internationally?

 

[bluewonder]

I remember Man Utd trying to get most of their home games played on a Sat lunchtime for their internatiomal market in the far east as it was big money from the tv rights alone.
