It is anticipated that Sunderland supporters would travel a great deal this season.
According to recently gathered data, Sunderland supporters travel more miles than any other fanbase in the EFL.
On Saturday afternoon, the Black Cats set off on an 800-mile round trip to Plymouth Argyle, only to return greatly unhappy after giving up a crucial goal in stoppage time to spoil their unbeaten start to the new Championship season. However, Regis Le Bris’ team played in front of a sold-out away crowd at Home Park, and they will probably do so for the most of their away games this season.
No team in the Football League has a more committed traveling fan base than Sunderland, according to Bristol Street Motors. The experts calculate that Mackems will travel almost 294 million miles this season by assuming that the Black Cats will bring about 60,000 fans to away venues during the season, and that each fan would accrue the equivalent of about 4,900 miles.

Despite having a smaller total traveling fanbase of 43,000, last weekend’s opponents Plymouth had amassed an aggregate collective mileage of 258 million. They are predicted to register the most miles per fan tally of any EFL team at roughly 6,000. Leeds United, with 202 million miles, comes in third.
Middlesbrough, who travel to the Stadium of Light this coming Saturday, and Sheffield, who have respective mileage of 185 million and 180 million, round out the top five. Newly promoted Portsmouth comes in sixth place. Like Plymouth, they will have a lot of difficult away days from the south coast in the upcoming months. With 158 million miles, or six million fewer than its divisional opponents, Norwich City is ranked below Pompey.
