Blackburn Rovers' match against Leeds United has been moved to 1:30pm due to a request by Lancashire Police.

John Eustace's side host the Whites at Ewood Park on Saturday, November 30, which hasn't been selected by Sky Sports and was due to kick-off at 3pm.

Any matches that will be moved for TV coverage have already been made up until the second week of January, as part of the new EFL day with Sky Sports.

However, the match will now start at 1:30pm due to the volume of away fans expected to travel, at the request of Lancashire Police. Leeds sold out their allocation in the Darwen End last season, with more than 7,000 fans making the trip down the M62.

In a club statement, Leeds United have voiced their frustration at the decision and, particularly, the inconvenience that may cause supporters planning their travel. 

They say that they rejected requests from Lancashire Police to move the game to an even earlier kick-off time. 

They said: "The club are frustrated this decision was not taken at an earlier date, which may now inconvenience the travel plans of supporters.

"The club also pushed back on an even earlier kick-off time, ensuring the full away allocation at Ewood Park would be made available."

Last season, the match kicked-off at 12:30pm due to a request from the police. The return match at Elland Road was moved to the early slot by TV.

In addition, Rovers' trip to West Brom on February 12 will now kick-off at 8pm rather than 7:45pm as initially advertised.

Rovers have early kick-offs coming up in the next two months, starting this weekend at Preston North End on Sunday. Queens Park Rangers, on September 28, is a 12:30pm kick-off.

For travelling Rovers supporters, they have early starts for the trips to Watford and Cardiff City at the end of October and start of November.
