HULL City manager Steve Bruce has branded police restrictions for Tigers fans travelling to Saturday's match as "total nonsense".
Huddersfield and Hull City fans marched together through Huddersfield town centre angry at travel restrictions implemented by West Yorkshire Police.
More than 100 fans walked behind a banner which read "We are not criminals we are free fans", armed with balloons and proudly wearing their team's colours.
The aim was to voice their anger at having to travel to last Saturday's match in West Yorkshire on official coaches – either from Hull or get to Hartshead Moor services to pick up their tickets before being transported to the stadium by coach.
Many chose to boycott the game altogether, watching the match in Huddersfield town centre instead, with 428 away supporters turning out for the game.
Mr Bruce said: "It would have made a hell of a difference if we'd have had that end full of our fans.
"I have seen hundreds of police out there, what the hell they are looking for I don't know.
"We have been all over Yorkshire this year and I just can't understand it."
West Yorkshire Police categorised the match at the John Smith's Stadium as CIR – the highest possible grading.
The restrictions were put in place after the kick-off was changed from 12.30pm to 5.20pm because the game was to be televised on Sky Sports.
Police said it was put in place to minimise the risk of rival hooligans clashing prior to the game.
Showing their support to the fans, Hull City's players wore shirts that read "Watching football is not a crime" prior to their 1-0 win.
Mr Bruce said: "Are we really surprised with the police that they make a decision like that? It is total nonsense. It is an insult.
"Huddersfield came to us three months ago and there wasn't a problem.
"I think we have had 14 arrests all season, none alcohol-related."
West Yorkshire Police confirmed there had been no arrests made at the match and thanked supporters for their behaviour.
Football fans have vowed to continue their battle against police restrictions on travelling to away matches.
Louis Cooper, who travels from Manchester to watch the Tigers, led the march from Huddersfield train station to the town's library.
The 15-year-old fan, who launched a high-profile legal challenge to West Yorkshire Police, said he had chosen to boycott the match, despite Hull City offering him a special travel solution.
"I call on Clive Betts MP, the chairman of the all-party committee for football, to have an urgent review of football policing," he said.
"I've been knocked over by a police horse, been threatened and bullied, kept on trains against my will and have seen fans antagonised by the very people who are supposed to be keeping the peace.
"Seventy per cent of football matches are played without the need for police at all and with less than one arrest on average per game."
