We are disappointed by the decision to move our game at Portsmouth back to noon on Sunday March 9, yet another example in a long line demonstrating the lack of consideration for match-going fans by the broadcasters. 

The new kick-off time means there are limited transportation options to get to the game, with no trains leaving Leeds in time to make kick off. 

The increased notice period of fixture changes imposed by the Football League and Sky is a welcome one, but this is drastically undermined by implementing kick-off times that are inconvenient at best, or even impossible to attend for some supporters.

Fans are consistently being failed by these fixture changes and we need to see more action being taken by the authorities to implement a basic level of consideration for logistics and impact on fan attendance. 

While broadcasters are allowed to call the shots, however, we will continue to see the exploitation of match-going fan loyalty. Leeds supporters will sell out our allocation, Sky will get their atmosphere, and nothing will change.

We might also point out the hypocrisy of promoting green and sustainable initiatives while also removing more sustainable transport options as a result of fixture changes. Transport is by far the largest carbon contributor that occurs as a by-product of staging football matches.

You do wonder how serious Sky actually are about addressing their impact on the environment.
