Cardiff City's return South Wales derby clash with arch-rivals Swansea City will go ahead with a traditional Saturday 3pm kick-off, the first time that has happened in decades.
In fact, you have to go back well into the last century for the last time the two teams locked horns at such a prime Saturday afternoon time.
The Bluebirds versus Swans has tended to be chosen by Sky Sports for coverage, which has often meant the fixture being moved to a Sunday with a much earlier kick-off time.
When it has remained as a Saturday match, again the kick-off time has been altered.
However, on this occasion, barring an 11th-hour change, the game between Steve Morison's Bluebirds and Russell Martin's Swans will be played out on Saturday, April 2 at 3pm, as per the Football League fixture list.
Sky have chosen Hull v Huddersfield and Blackpool v Nottingham Forest as their Championship matches that weekend, with nothing riding on the South Wales derby in terms of promotion or relegation.
South Wales Police have confirmed the match will remain as it is.
However, police stress it will be a bubble match, as per normal. That means travelling Swans fans will require a voucher for ticket exchange on official coaches which will provide transport to Cardiff City Stadium.
The coaches, laid on in Swansea, will be bussed in and out of the venue.
The decision to let the fixture go ahead with a Saturday mid-afternoon kick-off may raise eyebrows in some quarters, but the bubble element for fans has worked slickly in recent years and there has been little in the way of the kind of the trouble we previously associated with this fixture.
Swansea won the first derby earlier this season in what was a noon Sunday kick-off.
That was in line with more recent traditions for the derby, which was often brought forward in the day to try to stop any hooligan element ruining the showpiece occasion.
In 2008-09, when Dave Jones' Cardiff and Roberto Martinez's Swans were each chasing promotion and fought out two epic draws, the kick-off times were even earlier.
The first match at the Liberty Stadium started at 11.15am and the return clash, the last at Ninian Park, kicked off at 11am.
The games were each 2-2 thrillers. Cardiff finished seventh that season, missing out to Preston on the play-offs, with Swansea six points adrift in the end in eighth.

Two more tense showdowns in the 2010-11 season, with Swansea winning the first game in Cardiff 1-0 and Craig Bellamy inspiring the visitors to a 1-0 return triumph, kicked off at 1.10pm and 1.15pm respectively on Sundays.
The Premier League derbies between the teams in the 2013-14 campaign were played at 4pm on a Sunday, when Malky Mackay's Cardiff won the first one 1-0 through a Steve Caulker goal, and 5.30pm on a Saturday as Garry Monk's Swans gained revenge with a 3-0 victory.
Because they were in differing leagues, Cardiff and Swansea didn't actually meet this century until 2008.
However, the clubs also tended to avoid 3pm Saturday kick-off times when playing during the 1990s, too.
Incredibly, the league double has never been done in the near-100 years the two teams have met one another.
That, more than anything, demonstrates the uniqueness of this fixture and what can be at stake.
Cardiff's players and their boss Morison will be determined to ensure they aren't the first team to lose that record when the game is played out in front of their own fanatical supporters at the beginning of next month.
