Luke Ayling urges Leeds fans to sing louder after Sky Sports reportedly drowned out profane chants

Some Leeds United fans are pissed at Sky Sports after the club only received £7.5million in TV money for last season. Despite finishing mid-table, the Whites are one of Championship highest earners, but the money pales in comparison to the £100million a bottom Premier League side rakes in.

The broadcaster also frequently disrupts the club’s kick-off times, which often affects fans’ pre-planned travel and accommodation arrangements.

A section of Leeds supporters voiced out their frustration at Sky Sports during the home league clash with Nottingham Forest last Saturday.

According to Daily Mail, the disgruntled fans chanted ‘Sky TV is f****** s***’, forcing the station to hush the regular chants by a process known as ‘dampening’.
