Wanderers’ supporters are among the “most dedicated in the EFL”, according to a new study.

Bristol Street Motors have crunched the data for the number of fans who travelled on the road last season and how many miles they racked up along the way.

The Whites were ninth in the table, which included clubs from the Championship, League One and League Two.

Bolton are estimated to have sold around 40,000 away tickets last term, with the average fan travelling around 3,300 miles.

Sunderland were top of the list, with an estimated 60,000 supporters clocking up nearly 5,000 miles on average.

The Black Cats finished 16th in the Championship last season, with Mike Dodds finishing the campaign as interim boss after Michael Beale’s sacking.

Plymouth are second on the list, with an estimated 43,000 fans racking up around 6,000 miles on average.

The Pilgrims avoided relegation on the final day following a narrow victory against Hull City at Home Park.

Leeds sit third on the list, with an estimated 63,000 supporters racking up around 3,200 miles on average.

The Elland Road club narrowly missed out on an immediate return to the Premier League following defeat against Southampton in the play-off final at Wembley.

Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth were the only other sides with higher figures than Wanderers last term, while Norwich, Coventry and Birmingham also make the top 10 across the EFL.

A spokesperson for Bristol Street Motors said: “It’s great to see clubs in the EFL so well-supported and fans willing to cover so much distance to get behind their teams.

“Some of these fans have to travel hundreds of miles just to get to a game and, when they do so in such great numbers, it really shows the value of the 72.”
