Sky Sports cameras were locked out of Leeds United's Elland Road football ground ahead of Derby County's visit tonight, however the dispute has now been resolved.

The match is to be broadcast live on Sky Sports, however Leeds United Chairman Massim Cellino is upset with the number of live televised matches that his team are participating in.

His arguement is that Leeds United appear too much live on Sky Sports, disproportionately compared to other clubs, and that it is hurting gate receipts.

The Football League have weighed into the arguement threatening sanctions against Leeds United unless the Sky Sports crews are allowed into the ground.

They said in a statement; "Clubs are required to provide access to the League's broadcasting partners for the purpose of setting up and filming.

"Failure to do so will lead to a club being charged with misconduct with the matter being referred to an independent Football Disciplinary Commission (FDC).

"The FDC has a full range of sanctions at its disposal."

The Sky Sports production team were locked out of the ground for much of the day, only gaining access at around 4pm, only hours before the scheduled kick-off time.
