The Club is pleased to announce that Town fans will be able to sit in the Pink Link Stand for the game against Southend United on Saturday April 4th, kick-off 3pm.
Following a series of successful games where Town fans have packed the South end of the Stadium, a section of the stand will be available for the game against the Shrimpers.
As per Town's recent home fixtures against Swindon, Hartlepool and Colchester, season ticket holders can exchange a voucher from their booklet - along with the exchange fee of £1 for adults and 50p for concessions - at the turnstiles to gain entry to the Pink Link Stand. For the Southend game, the relevant voucher is number 21.
Non-season ticket holders will also be able to pay at the Pink Link Stand turnstiles on the day; admission is priced at £20 adults, £12 seniors, £10 full-time students and under-16s.
Huddersfield Town Chairman-elect Dean Hoyle has told htafc.com that he was delighted to have the home fans in the South End of the ground:
"I'm delighted to have home fans in the Pink Link Stand for the Southend United game," said Dean. "Having home fans at the South end of the ground makes a real difference to the atmosphere inside the Galpharm and I really do feel that the fans can be the '12th man'."
However, Hoyle stressed that home fans have been allowed in the Pink Link Stand on a trial basis and for this to continue Town's supporters must abide by the law and rules of the Stadium.
"I must stress that for us to be allowed to have our fans in the South end, we have to comply with the terms of the safety certificate of the ground and Football League ground regulations and as such we have to ask our fans to not stand up persistently once the game is underway.
"The Club has worked hard to make the South Stand available to home fans, but for this to continue we need to abide by the legislation set out in the Stadium's safety certificate and ground regulations.
"There have also been instances of people throwing objects on matchdays of late; as frustrating as football can be, actions such as this will penalise the Club in terms of fines and in the worst case scenario, closure of parts of the ground.
"Having Town fans behind the goal at the South end makes a real difference - it could prove to be the difference between the team drawing a game and winning it. I would hate to see the Club denied this opportunity in the future."
