The Scottish Championship side are less then pleased with the decision from the SPFL.
Arbroath have slammed the decision from the SPFL to move their upcoming fixture with Dundee United due to a 'centenary' event.
The clash at Tannadice now lines up exactly with the 100 year mark, but that's something Arbroath have confirmed they believe that decision puts the 'sporting fairness and the integrity' of the Scottish Championship in to question. The Lichties said in a statement they are concerned about supporters travel and some of the players who have weekday jobs.
"Dundee United have requested this change of date and time so that they can celebrate the Centenary of Dundee Hibernian FC becoming Dundee Utd FC. Arbroath FC Board of Directors carefully considered this request, however due to the majority of the club’s Players having to work on a Friday in their ‘day’ jobs, playing on the Friday evening has a negative impact on Team/Player pre match preparation and thus places the Club at a significant sporting disadvantage.
