Fans of Leeds United have been reacting to a post on Twitter which informs fans that the club’s fixture against Swansea City will now not be shown on Sky Sports.
The post, which was uploaded by the official Leeds United Twitter account, states that Sunday’s clash with Swansea will now be an ‘LUTV exclusive’, despite the game originally being televised by Sky Sports.
In reaction to the post, fans of Leeds flocked to have their say on the matter, with many questioning why the fixture will not be on Sky, while others have aired their displeasure at the news.

Although these Leeds fans seem slightly aggrieved by the fact that their side’s fixture against Swansea will no longer be on Sky Sports this Sunday, they still have plenty to be happy about regarding their club.
So far this season, Marcelo Bielsa’s side have performed magnificently, currently topping the Championship table, being one point ahead of West Brom in second place and three points ahead of third-placed Brentford – over whom Leeds have a game in hand – following the Bees’ victory over Charlton Athletic on Tuesday night.
Are you confident that Leeds United will earn promotion to the Premier League for next season?
YES
NO
And, with just five games remaining for Leeds to play this season, it would seem that the Whites are in great shape to go on and secure promotion to the Premier League come the end of this term.
£10 is not right

£10 if in uk! £5 if abroad! That’s shocking

While it is obviously a disappointment for Leeds fans that their game against Swansea will no longer be shown on Sky, we would suggest that these grievances could well be short-lived should the side go on to take three points against Stoke City on Thursday night, and then at Swansea on Sunday.
