Thatsagoal.comThe Championship fixtures for the new 2019/20 season have been released and The Stats Zone have crunched the numbers to see which away fans have the furthest distance to travel across the whole season.
By using Google Maps the calculations have all been done and it shows that South Wales side Swansea City will have the furthest distance to travel next season, with each away trip averaging 193.7 miles. They will also have the longest single away trip, the 311 miles to the Riverside to play Middlesbrough.
As you could predict, it pays to be following a team more towards the centre of the UK if you want to keep your travel down to a minimim when following your clubs, so it is no surprise to see the likes of Birmingham City, Derby, Nottingham Forest and West Brom with the shortest average away travel distances.
