Dons to face Dundee on Friday 15th February

Friday night football returns to Pittodrie next month with Aberdeen’s SPL clash with Dundee being brought forward by twenty four hours.

Following on from the successful pilot Friday evening clash against Dunfermline in September 2011, the match will now go ahead on Friday 15th February, with a 7.45 pm kick-off, and Dons Chief Executive Duncan Fraser believes the fans will back the switch.

“The feedback from the Pars match was extremely positive with many supporters commenting on what a great atmosphere there was that evening and we’re confident that’s something we can recreate. Grampian Police were also very complimentary regarding the experiment and their support has been invaluable to making Friday night football a reality. The SPL have been keen to promote this where possible and I have to also thank Scot Gardiner and the Board at Dundee FC for agreeing to this change with supporters in mind”

“It is vital that the Dundee match is viewed as another success, and if so it could well become a regular season event against clubs that we consider local opposition, going forward.”
