Leeds United are to sell their full allocation of tickets for next month’s derby at Huddersfield Town.
The Elland Road club had slapped a 2,000 limit on away games as a protest against the number of their Championship matches being televised live.
The game at Town on Saturday, November 7 (12.30) is one of 10 televised Leeds matches between August and January.
Leeds chairman Massimo Cellino says the club lose money as a result.
But there has been a U-turn by the Italian after talks with a supporters’ group.
Leeds had 3,976 fans in a 20,029 crowd for last season’s game at the John Smith’s Stadium.
Cellino’s decision means there will be bumper away turn-outs at Town’s next two home fixtures.
Derby County have sold out their allocation for Saturday’s game.
A statement on the club website said: “Both Leeds United and Leeds Fans Utd are in agreement that the club is being treated unfairly by Sky and the Football League.
“We will be working together to come up with a mutually beneficial solution that ensures supporters are no longer being unfairly penalised by fixture changes.
“Following discussions between the two parties, it has been agreed that the 2,000 tickets restriction for away supporters will be lifted with immediate effect.
“The club maintains its position that it can determine the number of tickets to be sold to its supporters for away games.”
Cellino, said: “We are frustrated by the fixture changes but we never intended to penalise our own supporters at away games – we have listened to their concerns and acted on them.
“We also considered their safety as we understand that many would attempt to buy tickets in home areas.
“We will now work with the fans to find a peaceful way that shows our disappointment without taking something away from them.
“That will be crucial if we are to achieve what we need to.”
Dylan Thwaites, chief executive of Leeds Fans Utd, said: “We look forward to partnering with Massimo and the club to make this work for everyone.
Take a look at last season's home derby match action below.
“Our away support is second to none for their commitment to following the team all over the country.
“We hear the frustrations from supporters who have to miss games or pay extra money because of amended fixtures.
“We will all work together to come up with a solution that works for everyone.”
- Cellino has said he will appeal against his ban from running the club.
The 59-year-old was suspended on Monday, the same day he sacked manager Uwe Rosler and appointed Steve Evans.
The ban relates to Cellino’s conviction under Italian tax law in June for failing to pay VAT on an imported Land Rover car.
It is the second time in 10 months that the Football League has banned him from running Leeds.
The League has yet to confirm the length of the latest ban, but it is understood it will end in June 2016, 12 months after his conviction.
Cellino has until next Wednesday, October 28, to appeal.
