Following a team up and down the country in the fourth tier of English football is no simple task, particularly when factoring in the rising travel costs that come with lengthy journeys. The financial and logistical demands can quickly add up, and with the constant threat of relegation to the National League looming, away days do not always feel as enjoyable as they should.
Throughout the 1109 League Two matches played across England during the 2025-26 season, thousands of supporters travelled far and wide in the hope of witnessing a memorable away-day victory.

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 the Football League.
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 support teams on the road in League One.
Just two years after relegation from League One, 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.
