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

Following a team across the country in League Two is far from straightforward, especially with the increasing cost of travel making long-distance away trips more expensive than ever. The financial and logistical challenges can quickly become significant, while the possibility of relegation to the National League means away days are not always as enjoyable as supporters would hope.

Across the 1,109 League Two fixtures played throughout the 2025-26 season, thousands of fans made lengthy journeys in search of memorable away victories and unforgettable matchday experiences.

Like many divisions within the English football pyramid, League Two is notoriously difficult to escape, with clubs often spending several years attempting to secure promotion.

Because of that, certain grounds and away trips can become familiar territory for travelling supporters, with some losing the excitement and sense of discovery they once offered.

However, when new clubs enter the fourth tier of English football, fans are given fresh opportunities to visit different stadiums and experience new away days.

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.
