Football fans have been left fuming at Sky Sports after a fixture switch.
Sheffield Wednesday fans hoping to catch the match against Swansea have worked out that the earliest train from Yorkshire won’t get them into the Welsh city until after the final whistle.
The away match on Sunday 8 February was switched to a 12 noon kick-off to fit the TV schedule.

But the first train that day doesn’t arrive until 2pm – 15 minutes after the match is due to end.
The 08:56 service takes five hours, has two changes, and gets in two hours after kick-off, leaving fans fuming, as reported by What’s The Jam.
One supporter said: “First train of the day will get you there just in time for full time.
“Well done Sky Sports.”
Another added: “The fans are the last thing in their minds honestly.”

And another fumed: “TV rules now mate – absolute joke.”
Not everyone was sympathetic, however.
One fan said: “Go on coach or drive then.”
