Leeds fans vent at another long midweek trip.
Leeds United are facing a fixture pile up after another re-arrangement.
Queens Park Rangers’ progression into the FA Cup fifth round has meant the original Championship fixture at Loftus Road against Leeds has been moved.
The game will now be held on Tuesday February 26th, Leeds confirmed.
There are a couple of issues with this that Leeds supporters are deeply frustrated by.
Firstly the long midweek trip is far from ideal for fans, although by now, this is something they are well accustomed to. Even so, it’s a tough break when the original fixture would have taken place on a Saturday.
The biggest issue however is the lack of turnaround time for their next game.
Leeds’ following fixture at home to promotion rivals West Bromwich Albion has already been moved to the Friday of that week, meaning Leeds only have two full days off between that and the new QPR date.
Prior to the QPR game, Leeds will face Bolton on February 23, meaning the Whites will play three games in seven days.
Here is a look at how Leeds fans reacted on Twitter to the news…
