A Hull City supporters' group has urged fans to demonstrate exemplary behaviour as "the eyes of the football world" turn to Huddersfield this weekend. Hundreds of Tigers supporters are due to march through Huddersfield on Saturday in protest at travel restrictions placed on the by West Yorkshire Police. Fans have to either travel on official coaches from the city, or pick up their tickets at Hartshead Moor Services on the M62 and be taken to the stadium. The march will set off from Huddersfield Train Station at 2pm. Ahead of the march, Hull City Official Supporters' Club has released the following statement."Saturday, 30 March 2013 is a very important day for Hull City AFC, Huddersfield Town AFC and their fans."The eyes of the football world and, more importantly, the West Yorkshire Police (WYP) will be on everyone as the clubs play under the gaze of television for three very important points for both. Following the imposition of unwarranted draconian restrictions by the WYP and decisions taken over the policing of the game, the reaction of the fans will be closely monitored."Hull City Official Supporters Club is united with the Huddersfield Town Supporters Association, Amber Nectar, City Independent, Hull City Southern "Supporters and Tiger Chat in requesting all Tigers and Terriers fans, to demonstrate exemplary behaviour."Please put your anger, resentment, frustrations, etc. behind you on the day of the game and ensure the day passes without incident and the good name of the two clubs is reinforced. Future actions and discussions on the rights of football fans must not be hindered by our failure to behave."The banner will spell it out, "We are not Criminals", let's prove it to everyone on Saturday. "We want to witness a peaceful demonstration with our hosts who have campaigned tirelessly on our behalf and a day that gathers all the right publicity for both sets of fans. "This Hull City away day should go down in history as the time the fans said NO, the football world took notice, and we created a political will to change the way football is policed for the better."
