The Bluebirds had originally planned to stay in Swansea overnight next Friday but following discussions with the South Wales Police, they have decided to make other arrangements.
They will now stay in Cardiff and will travel down on the Saturday morning before the match, which kicks off at 12:45.
“We’re not able to stay in Swansea the night before as police have advised us not to,” Jones told Wales Online.
“It’s an away game and I wanted to treat it as so and stay reasonably close to the ground as we would do on any other away game.
“But the police have advised us that it is best to stay out of the Swansea area.
“When supporters find out where you are staying, things like setting fire alarms off and trying to keep players awake during the night start to happen.
“So it’s best all round to stay in Cardiff over night and then travel to the game on the morning of the match.”
