Leeds United fans have mixed reaction as Sky Sports move Blackburn clash

Leeds United have seen another fixture rearranged by Sky Sports as the broadcaster hones in on the Championship run-in.

Next month's trip to Blackburn was due to be played on Saturday April 4 at 3pm, but has now been brought forward and will now kick-off at 7.45pm on Friday April 3.

That means fans have been given just four-and-a-half weeks notice about the change of plan - something which has not gone down well on social media.

Derby County's home clash against Nottingham Forest has also been moved that weekend and brought forward to a 12.30pm kick-off on the Saturday from the original time of 3pm.

While travelling Whites fans must now change their plans accordingly, other supporters have welcomed the opportunity for Leeds to put down an early marker that weekend and apply pressure to their promotion rivals.

West Brom host Hull City that weekend, Brentford are at home to Wigan Atheltic, Fulham take on Birmingham City at Craven Cottage, with Forest making the short trip to Derby.

Here's a look at some of the reaction online...

Following the trip to Ewood Park there will be just five games of the Championship season remaining.
