We all know that Aston Villa fans have done the club proud on the road this season.

The claret and blue faithful have filled away ends up and down the country, snapping up ticket allocations in no time.

And now it's official - Villa have been the best supported side away from home this season.

According to the Football League Zone, Villa have the best average number of away fans at matches this term with 3413.

They have pipped nearest challengers Leeds United to first place by just over 100 with five games of the season remaining.

Next up is Newcastle United with 3140 who, like Villa, were relegated from the Premier League in 2015/16.

And Villa's average looks set to increase with bumper followings heading to Fulham and Blackburn Rovers.

Leeds, meanwhile, head to Newcastle, Wigan Athletic and Burton Albion.

At the other end, Burton (796), Wigan (808) and Cardiff City (849) have been the worst-supported Championship sides away from home.
