Leeds United and Huddersfield Town provide update as Championship duo announce reciprocal ticket prices for two derbies

LEEDS UNITED and Huddersfield Town have agreed a reciprocal ticket pricing offer for the two West Yorkshire derbies in the Championship in 2023-24 after holding talks.

The development comes after Terriers supporters had expressed anger at news that Leeds were reportedly planning to charge visiting fans up to £47 each to attend the forthcoming derby at Elland Road on Saturday, October 28 (12.30pm kick-off).

It prompted an unhappy response from Town owner Kevin Nagle.
