September has already provided some lengthy away days for League Two supporters, with the amount of travelling required varying considerably between clubs.

Location has played a significant role, with teams from the South West, East Anglia and South East having to cover some sizeable distances, while a number of North West clubs have enjoyed the benefit of several relatively short away journeys.

FootballGroundGuide examines the League Two clubs whose supporters travelled the greatest distances during September 2026.

Colchester United fans travelled the furthest in September

Colchester United lead the way after their three away fixtures during the month required supporters to cover a combined 432 miles.

The U's travelled to Bristol Rovers, Swindon Town and Shrewsbury Town, with those journeys measuring 152, 117 and 163 miles respectively. The final two trips made up the majority of Colchester's overall mileage.

Just one mile separates Colchester from Grimsby Town, who sit second with 431 miles accumulated from away games at Accrington Stanley, Cheltenham Town and Newport County.

Their longest journey came at Newport, with that trip covering 184 miles, while the visits to Accrington and Cheltenham added 96 and approximately 151 miles.

Crawley Town occupy third place on 390 miles, having made the journeys to Northampton Town, Accrington Stanley and Grimsby Town.

The three trips covered 85, 121 and 184 miles respectively.

Tranmere Rovers are only one mile further back in fourth after travelling to Gillingham and Exeter, while Fleetwood Town round off the top five following their visits to Newport County and Barnet.

Salford City fans had the shortest September trips

Salford City sit at the opposite end of the standings, with their supporters covering just 45 miles across two away fixtures.

The Ammies visited Rotherham United and Oldham Athletic, with the respective trips measuring 38 and seven miles.

Oldham Athletic were next on 88 miles, visiting Fleetwood Town, Tranmere Rovers and Rochdale.

Those three journeys came to 44, 39 and five miles respectively.

Rochdale also had a relatively favourable month in terms of distance, with trips to Walsall and Fleetwood adding up to 73 and 40 miles.

That gave Rochdale a total of 113 miles, while Chesterfield and Northampton Town recorded 133 and 168 miles respectively to complete the five clubs with the shortest September travel distances.
