Albion fans will be among those travelling the furthest for Premier League away days this season, according to a new study.
Brighton will cover the fourth most miles of any of the top flight sides as they hit the road for the first time this season against Wolves tomorrow.
The new survey also shows that supporters driving to games from the South coast will rack up just under £1,000 in fuel costs should they go to every away game.
According to the study from Cinch, Albion fans will travel 6,323 miles to away games this season, costing around £938 in fuel.
The furthest domestic trip, from the Amex Stadium to Newcastle’s St James’ Park, would see fans completing a round trip of just under 700 miles.

Compared to other teams, the only sides covering more miles than Brighton are Newcastle, Bournemouth and Burnley.
The trip to Newcastle is the second longest round trip of any side in the league, topped only by the Magpies’ trip to Bournemouth.
Costs for fuel were calculated at £0.15 per mile, with Albion fans racking up a petrol bill of £948.45.
Albion fans will also face even further trips abroad as they prepare for their first season playing European football.
