Leeds United are in the thick of a promotion race to the Premier League with nine games of the campaign to go. The Whites, though, have seen fixtures suspended until at least April 3 due to the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus.

Here's what United fans had to say, in attempt to see the funny side...

@TheSquareBall Leeds United. Unbeaten for at least two months.

@jonhowe1971 Has any team not conceded a goal between March and July?

@Michael_TSB The quiz question of the future. In which year did Leeds finish top of the league, go unbeaten for several months and still not get promoted?

@ThruItAllLUFC No surprise and the right thing to do. Not having Leeds games is going to feel really strange. #lufc #MOT

@LUFCDATA Torn between being happy about Leeds being able to recharge their batteries after eight months of high intensity Bielsaball, and immensely concerned whether we'll be able to keep the squad virus-free, sustain our momentum, peak fitness & carry on those murderball sessions. #LUFC

@Radebe_Leeds Leeds United being in the form of their lives - 5 straight wins and 0 goals conceded - with just 9 games from promotion and matches are about to be suspended due to coronavirus. The most Leeds thing ever. #lufc

@ChrisLUFC1981 It's really not difficult, suspend the season until the virus peak is over. Resume when safe and figure out the timetable for next season at that point. There are ways to shorten next season; cancel cups, cancel int'ls, reduce to 1 round of games #LUFC #EFL

@LeedsUtdRyan What if they decided to end the season now? Do Leeds win the league?.. We have worked so hard this season to get where we are just hope we don't have that taken away from us.. #lufc #mot
