    Out of touch with the fans - and no, we won't have scored by then

    A crazy decision by the management of Dundee Football Club to agree to this.
    John Nelms and Tim Keyes have not given any consideration to Dundee supporters especially those who live out of town and travel from Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow etc to attend home games at Dens.
    If the Chairman of Aberdeen wanted a game between Aberdeen and Dundee to kickoff at 6pm it should have been at an Aberdeen v Dundee home game at Pitoddrie. According to an article in the Scotsman Dave Cormack the American Chairman of Aberdeen FC wanted a home game between Aberdeen and Hibs to be played on a Saturday in March 2020 with a 6pm.
    Hibs refused to Cormack’s request as they said that it did not suit Hibs supporters travelling to the Granite City for a 6pm kickoff on a Saturday evening.
    Well Done Hibs.

    I got off a train from Aberdeen at 1045 last night. A load of Hibs fans got on that train heading on to Edinburgh. They looked perfectly happy to be travelling back home at that time of night and were singing joyously.

    But I do agree, shocker of a decision and no thought given to the fans.

    It has nothing to do with a U.K. tV deal. It only suits the American chairmen of both Aberdeen and Dundee with no consideration given to supporters of both clubs who will attend the game in person.
    John Nelms should have told Tim Keyes that a 6pm kickoff against Aberdeen was a non starter as the Dundee supporters have previously shown their contempt for a Saturday night kickoff at 7.20pm against Motherwell in the Scottish Cup in January 2020.
    If Dave Cormack the American chairman of Aberdeen FC wants Aberdeen games televised in the US at ‘stupid’ o’clock on a Saturday then play them when Aberdeen are playing at home.
