Newcastle United are the most expensive club to support home and away in the Premier League next season. That is according to research conducted by OLBG, who worked out it will cost a total of £3,302.97 to attend all 38 matches with the inclusion of train travel.
At £417, Newcastle actually have the fourth cheapest season ticket cost in the entire division (lowest adult price). However, it is the cost of train travel that make them the most expensive team to follow home and away.
Leeds United is currently their closest away trip in the Premier League, which at around two hours, is not exactly close by. Both of their near neighbours Sunderland and Middlesbrough are currently plying their trade in the Championship, meaning it will be another season without a local derby for Magpies supporters.

Newcastle’s average train cost per game currently sits at £116.15, with Bournemouth the only other team whose total also hits three figures. The Magpies will be faced with seven trips to the capital this season, with Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, West Ham United, Brentford and Fulham all now in the Premier League.
Journeys to Bournemouth, Southampton and Brighton will also see them clock up a hefty amount of mileage, with all three totalling round trips of well over 600 miles. On the other side of the scale, West Ham are the cheapest club in the Premier League to support, with their total cost of the season almost £1300 less than Newcastle’s.
The Hammers have the cheapest adult season ticket and are also set to face six London derbies, making their average travel costs per game a mere £58.32 – which is almost exactly half that of Newcastle.
