SUPPORTERS of Premier League and Championship clubs were furious yesterday with Sky for moving fixtures for television audiences.

The rearranged fixture schedule was released on Thursday, with some of the new dates less than three weeks away.

A Leeds fans’ group are now urging supporters to boycott next month’s rearranged game against Middlesbrough at Elland Road while Leicester supporters will protest at their away match against Arsenal on February 14.
