The average Premier League fan travels 1,960 miles a season to follow their club, a study has shown. West Brom fans travel the furthest at 3,290 miles. (The Sun)

 

 

I probably only do 6 or 7 away matches a season, but reckon i would beat 1,960

Home games are now a 150-mile round trip for me, so that's nearly 3500 miles already

Weird. I would have thought fans from clubs in the Midlands would travel the least.

[Kenilworthy]

Home games are a 260 miles round trip, so that's over 5,000 miles. With away games its probably over 8,000. The Championship used to be effectively a Midlands league with lost of short away trips. Now its only Walsall that's relatively local

This. How can west brom have the most, surely it would be newcastle/sunderland?

Based on last season, in all comps i did 23 away games.

 

Every home game in all comps.

 

I live in Andover.

 

So a fair whack!

This year have done three aways, I live Totton so checked via AA route (can only do Saturdays away games now due to work commitments)

Dag & Redbridge 118.5 miles

Tramere Rovers 242.9 miles

Peterbrough 115.5 miles

so 516.9 miles x2 thats 1033.8 miles just this year.....

Last season we drove to every Saints away game in all comps but due to work can only do Saturdays now.... Had to stop as customer come in shop (plus see all this mileage scared me)

A home game for me is just under 500 miles round trip so with about half a dozen away matches as well I guess, when I get the chances I'd average around 7k per annum.

So far this season google maps reckons 3,170

Maybe they go to more away games because they don't have to travel so far each time, but totted up they end up travelling more miles overall than, say, an average Newcastle fan who probably goes to less games.

 

Or, there again, maybe not.

Hmm possibly, it depends how the survey was conducted. But Newcastle do have a great away following

Is that all ? I have done over 21,000 miles to watch Saints this season.
