League Two away following: Who had the most support in 2025/26?

Following a team around the country is no easy task, particularly as rising travel costs make long distance away trips increasingly expensive.

The financial and logistical demands can quickly add up, while the threat of relegation to the National League means the experience is not always as rewarding as supporters might hope. 

The new League Two season has brought a fresh mix of clubs into the division, giving travelling supporters new grounds to visit and different away day experiences to enjoy.

However, with the 2026-27 campaign now underway, we are looking back at the previous season to see which clubs attracted the biggest travelling support. 

During the 2025-26 campaign, thousands of fans travelled across the country for all 1,109 League Two fixtures, following their teams in search of memorable away wins. 

As with many divisions in the English football pyramid, League Two is notoriously difficult to escape, with clubs often spending several seasons trying to earn promotion to the third tier.

Consequently, some away trips can become familiar territory for regular travellers, gradually losing the excitement and sense of discovery that come with visiting somewhere new. 

Here, FootballGroundGuide takes a look at the clubs with the highest average away attendances during the 2025-26 season. 

Last season's League Two away following ranked

• 24) Accrington Stanley – 167
• 23) Harrogate Town – 171
• 22) Fleetwood Town – 191
• 21) Salford City – 229

• 13) Milton Keynes Dons – 568
• 12) Shrewsbury Town – 588

Key talking points

Notts County led the way

At the top of the rankings, Notts County recorded the highest average away following in League Two, with an impressive 999 supporters travelling to watch the Magpies on the road.

Their loyal backing was rewarded with promotion to League One, ensuring supporters will have a fresh set of away trips to look forward to during the 2026-27 campaign.

Oldham Athletic fans didn't disappoint

Oldham Athletic had an impressive League Two away following during the 2025-26 season, with an average of 967 fans attending each of the Latics' matches on the road, narrowly missing out on top spot in this list.

The challenge now will be maintaining those numbers as they prepare for another campaign in League Two.

Strong support for Chesterfield once again

Chesterfield once again ranked among the best-supported clubs on the road in League Two.

After finishing fifth in these rankings last season, the Spireites improved to fourth this time around, averaging 900 away supporters per match. It is another sign of the excellent backing they continue to receive wherever they play.

Honourable mentions

During their relegation season two years ago, Bristol Rovers were among one of the worst supported teams on the road in League One.

Just two years after relegation to League Two, the Gas averaged 839 away supporters throughout the campaign, placing them sixth in the rankings and demonstrating that enthusiasm among their fanbase remains strong despite recent setbacks.
