Country walks, Ikea and webcam darts: How Leeds United fans will be spending their time off due to coronavirus

The coronavirus outbreak means that Leeds United are not due to play any football until at least April 3.

The decision to suspend all elite level games in English football was made on Friday morning.

It means that the Whites' next three games will be shelved - with the possibility for further disruption if the suspension is extended.

For United supporters, the suspension has come at a bad time as the Whites have been in superb form lately.

Not only do Marcelo Bielsa's side sit proudly at the top of the Championship, but they have done so by stringing together five successive victories.

That run includes five clean sheets as well, so it's no wonder that Leeds supporters are upset at the decision to halt all matches.

With no action for at least the next three weekends, we asked on our dedicated Whites Facebook page what supporters will be doing at 3pm instead of following the football.

Below we have gathered some of the responses.

Steven Waugh: I'm going to try talk to these people who live in my house. I think they call themselves "family" or something like that?!

Charlotte Fulton: Going to Ikea

Wolfgang Gurney: Going for a pint before pubs shut down

Pat Salmon: Fishing

Neil Stephenson: What else is there to do until football kicks off again?

Jenny Dennis: Mope around the house pining for The Mighty Whites

James McKnight: Game of snooker or two

Joanne Eaves: Walking the dog

Paddy Coyles: I might try set up webcam darts as our darts league is cancelled too!
