Hundreds of football fans will march through Huddersfield in protest of "draconian" police restrictions put in place for a Championship match.
West Yorkshire Police upset visiting Hull City fans by saying that they must collect tickets from a service station on the M62 and board official buses to the John Smith's Stadium for the match on March 30.
The Football Supporters Federation (FSF) has now said that a protest will take place through Huddersfield before the match.
The Tigers released a statement on their website on Monday supporting the march, which said: "[The match] has been given the security categorisation of C+IR by West Yorkshire Police. This is the highest possible security categorisation, and, despite Hull City having no record of fan trouble or disorder, West Yorkshire Police have placed draconian restrictions on the freedom of our fans who wish to travel to the match in their usual way."
Hull also said that the move by the police 'criminalised' the supporters.
"In listening to fans we recognise, and empathise with, the deep sense of grievance over West Yorkshire Police's effective criminalisation of Hull City supporters," read the statement.
"Therefore whilst reluctantly accepting the increase in ticket allocation and slight reduction in travel restrictions as the most practical solution for fans wishing to attend the match, we have also decided to support a protest march organised by the Football Supporters' Federation, aimed at highlighting the treatment of away football fans."
The restrictions were imposed because the match was moved from a 3pm to a 5.20pm kickoff so that the match could be broadcast on Sky Sports.
