Not great for away supporters. Trains no longer an option.

Is it for TV Billy? I thought it was one of the matches they have moved because they believe it helps atmosphere. Their owner has made a big push for night games

I've just read the SPFL note, said it's been brought forward at the request of clubs!

Hopefully it will be streamed on PPV or on Sky

Potentially to do with the Sticky’s in Perth on the 5th?

You wouldn’t have thought so!
St Mirren Hibs was played last week while Rangers v Ross County was getting played at Ibrox

Aberdeen polis. Presumably, if Aberdeen council estates are anything like Edinburgh ones on bonfire night, they won't want to waste a few dozen polis plus vans policing a stadium, train station and pubs.

Don't think Aberdeen trains go anywhere near Perth. Through Fife then onto Dundee is the line IIRC.

A couple of pals with ties to Aberdeen think this has probably been bumped due to the Aberdeen Beach fireworks on the 5th, which always draws a big crowd. Surely then the best thing to do would have been to pull the Hibs match back til 1pm - save a few quid on floodlights and undoubtedly still generate a bigger crowd than on Friday evening?
