Here's just how many more fans Leeds United take on the road than their rivals

Leeds United's travelling attendance figures for the Championship season so far have been revealed - and the Whites command a huge four-figure margin over their nearest rivals.

Elland Road supporters have always prided themselves on their significant away fan contingent, and the latest statistics show no evidence to the contrary that they're slacking off.

United have taken an average of 3,781 ticket holders on the road up to the most recent round of fixtures, a number which dwarfs every other team in the second tier.

In fact, their advantage is so great, they have over a thousand more than second-place Sheffield Wednesday - 1,223, to be precise, with the Owls mustering 2,558 when they go travelling.

In third lies Derby County with 2,095 while Birmingham City and Luton Town round out the top five with 2,022 and 1,984 respectively.

For greater context, Leeds take more than twice as many as seventh-place West Bromwich Albion, who average 1,851 supporters.

United actually average more than the bottom four sides combined, no less - with Brentford, Hull City, Reading and Wigan Athletic's total averages added up still coming in several hundred below the Whites.

Those four sides, whose numbers range between 934 to 770, sit together at 3,440, still a significant 341 fans below the benchmark set by Leeds.

Other sides who United have a notable advantage over includes Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield Town (1,565), Barnsley (1,593), former Premier League perennials Stoke City (1,678) and recently relegated Cardiff City (1,794).

Leeds are next back in action with a trip to Luton on Saturday as they look to keep their promotion push firing on all cylinders.
