UNITED SET FOR SATURDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Dundee United can confirm that our cinch Premiership fixtures versus Aberdeen on Saturday 8 October (Tannadice) and Saturday 12 November (Pittodrie) will both kick off at 6pm.

The later time of 6pm was at the request of both clubs as part of a wider plan to trial different approaches in pursuit of attracting greater attendances at matches.

Chief Executive Luigi Capuano said: “The idea is to boost attendance and allow wider access from our supporter base, including families. 

“There are other positives factors including greater commercial and media exposure and maximising revenue generation for local businesses, but our main priority was in creating opportunity for greater spectator access.

“After this fixture, we will review the success of the event.”

Dundee United and Aberdeen would also like to extend their appreciation to the relevant stakeholders and hope that fans of both clubs embrace this opportunity to explore collective enhancement of our game.
