4 days agoWhy is the Dundee derby not part of the 3pm blackout?
This weekend's derby between Dundee United and Dundee will be shown live on television at 15:00 GMT - despite a decades-long ban that normally prevents matches from being shown at that time on Saturdays. Since the 1960s, football fans in the UK have been familiar with the 3pm blackout rule, which is in place to encourage stadium attendance at games.
