Due to the potentional for violence when Huddersfield Town visit Elland Road early next month the match has been moved to an earlier kickoff time of 12:15pm.
Leeds United and the West Yorkshire Police have also recommended that Huddersfields ticket allocation be slashed to 1,710, which will allow the Elland Road stewards and police to seperate the fans easier.
Huddersfield have however appealed against the cut in tickets and the decision on how many fans will be allowed to travel will now be decided by the FA, who are likely to back LUFC and the West Yorkshire Police. Afterall, if any trouble does break out and the FA have ruled against Leeds, the finger of blame is likely to point directly at them.
League rules do state that unless Leeds have good reason to cut allocation, they must provide 2,000 seats for travelling fans. This has so far been honored by Leeds, with Hartlepool and Swansea given 2,800 each.
