WEST Yorkshire Police are in talks with Hull City and Huddersfield over travel restrictions which have left fans furious.
The match on March 30 was originally set for 12.30pm, but kick-off has now been changed to 5.20pm to be televised in Sky Sports.
West Yorkshire Police originally refused permission for the game to be held at this time due to cost of policing and concerns at the prospect of away fans drinking in Huddersfield before the match.
They changed their mind when sanctions were agreed, including travel restrictions and Hull City being allocated only 1,500 tickets at the John Smith's Stadium.
However Assistant Chief Constable Craig Guildford has now said: "We are currently in negotiations and are speaking to both football clubs to address the issues which have been raised regarding some fans travelling to the Huddersfield Town v Hull City match.
"Discussions will be taking place this week and we will update the public when a decision is reached.
"West Yorkshire Police will continue to play a role together with both clubs in reducing the risks associated with this fixture."
