A huge policing operation around Town's derby clash with Leeds has been hailed after not even one person was arrested.
Police were out in force ‘to reassure fans, residents and business people' in Huddersfield on Saturday ahead of the Town v Leeds Championship game at the John Smith’s Stadium that there would be no trouble.
And police chiefs have since confirmed both the game and the aftermath passed off smoothly.
Dozens of officers - many of them mounted - were on duty in the town centre from early on Saturday.
A strong police presence greeted fans arriving by train at the railway station in St George’s Square from 10am in preparation for the expected crowds.
Uniformed West Yorkshire Police officers assembled and positioned themselves around the square to assist Leeds fans as they arrived in Huddersfield from trains.
West Yorkshire Police horses and dogs unit were also in the square alongside numerous police vans and officers on motorcycles.
Large numbers of officers were on duty outside town-centre pubs including The Cherry Tree, The Vulcan and The Boy and Barrel where rival fans were drinking prior to kick-off.
Officers with video cameras joined some of the patrols.
Fans were escorted to the ground in groups by police and there were no signs of disorder before the game which Huddersfield lost to a late Billy Sharp strike.
Inside the train station British Transport Police officers assisted fans and passengers and by midday the majority had drifted to the ground.
Chief Supt Ged McManus added: "There were no arrests. There were a couple of ejections from the ground but this was a peaceful event.
"A lot of planning goes into policing a derby game, when you have much larger crowds, and I would like to thank the fans for their behaviour and the stadium for their cooperation."
Here are some pictures of the game.
