Leeds United defender Luke Ayling has backed fan protests over their games being regularly moved for television coverage.

Sky Sports have had to use technology to quieten the songs of Leeds fans when they show their games live, according to 'Sportsmail'.

These include the chant "Sky TV is f**king sh*t", with supporters unhappy with how often the broadcaster selects their matches for coverage, meaning they are moved to kick-off earlier, later or in midweek. 

Rather than criticise the fans for the chants, Ayling lent them his full support on Twitter.

The defender tweeted a photo of the article, with the caption "Have to sing a little louder on Sunday lads".

Ayling himself will have to watch Leeds on TV for the forseeable future, as the defender suffered a knee injury in their 1-1 draw with Forest.
