Aberdeen and Dundee United have announced their upcoming league clashes have been moved to a Saturday night slot.
The Premiership fixtures on October 8 and November 12 will now take place at 6pm instead of the traditional 3pm start. The Dons have previously pushed for kick-off time changes and their visit to Dens Park last season was moved to Saturday evening to open the fixture up to greater international TV exposure.
The later kick-off is now being trialled again for next month's game at Tannadice - and in the reverse fixture at Pittodrie - after both clubs agreed to the changes. Aberdeen commercial director Rob Wicks hopes the trial will improve atmosphere and permit more supporters to attend. He said: We have stated previously that we would like to trial new kick-off times to help boost attendances and over the past few months we have been working alongside fellow SPFL clubs to make this happen.
