How far will Leeds United fans have to travel to follow the Whites this season?

United fans boasted the biggest away following in the second tier last season with nearly 3,000 supporters on average backing the Whites away from home throughout the campaign.

The new season brings new grounds and with the Championship line-up now complete we take a look at just how far Leeds fans will have to travel to follow their side over the next year in the league.

The shortest away trip comes in the form of Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday which is just a 64 mile round trip to the Hillsborough and back, while a visit to recently relegated Swansea City will be the longest of the season with fans clocking up a massive 508 miles to and from the Liberty Stadium.

In total United fans will travel 5,500 miles there and back to games should they attend all the away fixtures which, if travelling by car, amounts to nearly £1000 in petrol for a 35 gallon vehicle.
