THE Premier League fanbase with the longest away day travel schedule has been revealed.

The Brighton and Hove Albion faithful are facing journeys of almost 6,000 miles when travelling away to support their beloved club this season.

According to research by breakdown and recovery service Green Flag, Newcastle United fans will spend more time on the road than others.

Newcastle fans living in the city will have to travel over 8,700 miles to attend every away game this season.

This equates to £1,758 on fuel alone - equivalent to almost seven per cent of the average salary in the city.

In second place is Norwich City, whose fanbase face journeys totalling over 6,500 miles and costing £1,321 in fuel - five per cent of the average annual salary.

In third place is Brighton and Hove Albion, followed by Southampton, Burnley, Everton and Liverpool.

Supporters of the Albion are facing journeys of up to 6,000 miles if they were to attend all 19 away Premier League fixtures this season.

The teams facing the shortest journeys are those based in and around London, with Arsenal facing the least time on the road,under 4,000 miles, less than half the total for Newcastle fans.

Leicester City and Aston Villa fans are fortunate to also benefit from shorter journeys thanks to their Midlands location.

Hayley Fewster at Green Flag said: “The appetite for fans wanting to watch their teams play at football grounds across the country will no doubt be higher than ever.

“However, there is no denying that the expense to honour that commitment can build up.”
