Aston Villa supporters haven't had it easy in the last few years. A depressing season which resulted in relegation from the Premier League has been followed by a slow start to life in Championship.

In fact, it's now more than 14 months since Villa last won a game away from home but that hasn't deterred the thousands of faithful supporters who head on the road to watch their team.

5,421 fans were in attendance for what proved to be Roberto Di Matteo's last game as manager at Preston North End while 3,737 made the journey to Barnsley on the previous Tuesday.

And now we can confirm that Villa have the best away support in the Championship. Villa are top of the league with 15,736 at an average of 3,417 with Newcastle United only in second with (14,115 at an average of 2,831. Leeds and Wolves are then followed by league leaders Huddersfield Town.

PLEASE NOTE the figures below are from before the weekend and so do not include the Preston attendance.
