Hull City and West Yorkshire are currently in talks over the force's decision to order City fans to travel on official coaches from Hull to the match against Huddersfield on March 30. A resolution is expected by the end of the week.
Fans claim the restrictions, including the decision to allow just 1,500 Hull City fans in the stand holding 4,000 away supporters, are unfair and treat them as football hooligans.

During an exchange with Andrew Lansley MP, Leader of the House of Commons, Ms Johnson asked for a Commons debate on "sensible guidelines" for police forces considering restrictions on football supporters to avoid a similar uproar in the future.

"get real jonib.
Human rights is what people like Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela fight for.
This is a football match. It's on telly anyway. Some people have a bizarre sense of namy-pamby left-wing "freedom". Get on with your lives."
You really are a bit of a t*t, aren't you?”

"Well sai d Finbarr. Anyone who thinks football idiots are a thing of the pst, is totally out of touch.
The MPs are obviously out of touch."
Not as out of touch as those who think that there is no trouble at Rugby league games just because the local media and the RFL pretend that nothing like this happens in their family friendly game.”

"and it's all within the law anyway.
If the police stopped Millwall fans from coming to the KC except on coaches you would all be applauding.
They have the statutory powers and are choosing to use them. Tough luck, it's not like it's actually affecting anyone's wellbeing, health, safety or employment."
Actually if is affecting businesses which will lose trade. Good to see you don't consider the rights of people being trampled on being of any concern.
If you weren't so clueless you would know that these sort of restrictions have been imposed on Millwall fans. Of course that was when no troublemakers were coming. When they did come here the police, despite a massive presence, failed to arrest one single Millwall fans who were ripping out seats right in front of them and with CCTV over the place.”

“Shame Hull City fans have this bad lads tag wrongly placed on as part of the whitewash campaign when fans of Hull FC rampaged across the Huddersfield pitch causing mayhem after a match with Leeds and seen live to the nation on the BBC. Disgraceful scenes not seen since the all-Hull derby at Craven Park a couple of years ago.
All the local media bandied together in the whitewashing and this is, sadly, the result.
Well Done Diane Johnson.”

“This is hardly a major human rights issue.
Actual, that's exactly what it is. Stopping peoples movement is exactly that Finbarr”
