How Pompey's average away attendance compares to Championship rivals - including Leeds, Sunderland and Plymouth Argyle

Just under 1,500 Pompey supporters were in attendance last Saturday as they witnessed a 2-0 win over Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium.

Goals from Andre Dozzell and Mark O'Mahony ended a four-month wait for a win on the road. The Blues had lost their last eight away matches but those goals from Dozzell and O'Mahony topped off a fine week after beating Cardiff City at Fratton Park on Tuesday night.

With a little over the quarter of the season left, Pompey supporters have travelled in their numbers to every match this season. Even when their game against Blackburn Rovers was re-arranged for a Wednesday night in January, they still took over 1,000 fans.

In all of their away games this season they have never dropped below four figures which is testament to those who follow the team home and away every week. It’s even more impressive given that the team haven’t picked up many points on the road this term.

There are no more away matches for Pompey this month and from now until March, they only have to travel to two other grounds. Pompey travel to Kenilworth Road to face Luton Town on March 1 and then in the middle of the month they head up to Deepdale to face Preston North End.

Ticket details have already been released for Luton with an allocation of 1,300 tickets given. Given how small the away end is and how good the support has been this season it is a safe bet that John Mousinho's men will be backed by a sold out away end.

It's unclear yet how many tickets QPR have sold for this Saturday's match but they were given a full allocation of 2,171 tickets in which just under 1,300 of those are standing. Cardiff City were the last visitors to Fratton Park and they brought 1,374 last Tuesday.

Out of the sides currently involved in the relegation battle, Pompey boast the best level of away support. It comes as no surprise that Leeds United have the best away support.
