Fans' compromise over Huddersfield travel restrictions
SUPPORTERS of Hull City and Huddersfield Town have written to West Yorkshire Police with their own compromise over travel restrictions to the Yorkshire derby.
West Yorkshire Police had said Tigers fans had to travel to Huddersfield on official coaches from the city, irrespective of where they live.

Hull City
Following several hundred letters of complaints, the police came up with a compromise, allowing Hull fans to travel independently, however they must park up at Hartshead Moor Services on the M62, collect their tickets and be driving to the stadium on official coaches.
The police had also restricted the number of tickets to 1,500, when the away stand capacity is 4,000. This has now been increased to 1,700.
Our transparent fixed sales fees set us aside from the competition, offering full Estate Agency Service for a fixed fee regardless of the value of your home.
Contact: 01482 423365
Valid until: Friday, May 31 2013
Some supporters described the compromise as offensive.
Fans' groups from Hull City and Huddersfield Town and the Football Supporters' Federation have sent a letter to West Yorkshire Police with their own compromise.
The letter reads: "We urge West Yorkshire Police to call a meeting with fans' groups' representatives so they can justify their position, or to ease restrictions.
"We request you remove travel restrictions, bring ticket prices down, give Hull City at least 300 more tickets (so it satisfies competition rules on away allocations) and allow matchday ticket sales."
The fans are also calling for the game to be re-classified from C-IR- the highest possible grading.

“I too got an error message stating that 'the object' of my post could not be added. I was beginning to think 'Big Brother' was monitoring and censoring the site!”

“I was delighted to see that Notts Forest have requested their full allocation of 3,500 tickets for our match on Saturday, so a full away end and no ticket or travel restrictions on their supporters. Let's make sure that we make more noise than they do and that we win what is potentially a crucial game.
Interesting to read the statistics for football arrests, home and away, for last season. Notts Forest total arrests 43, Hull City 14, alcohol related arrests Notts Forest 11, Hull City 0!
WYP's decision to impose draconian restrictions on our Huddersfield game just get more and more unjustifiable.”
