Boro fans always travel in big numbers away from home. In fact, among the 24 clubs in the Championship, Middlesbrough had the fifth highest away attendance in the league last season.

Considering the Teessiders only have the ninth highest home average attendance, that is some going, so you may take issue with this Bolton fan only ranking Boro as the seventh best away support in the Championship:

Of course, rival fans will always have differing views, and you’ll always believe that your own fans provide the best atmosphere, and offer the most support to your team.

Middlesbrough fans have had a trying time of lat with results under Tony Pulis having dropped off alarmingly in recent weeks. However, after Saturday’s 2-0 win over bottom of the table Ipswich, supporters will be expecting to get back into the race for automatic promotion, especially after Derby made a dramatic comeback to beat second-place Norwich. Boro are now fifth, just six points behind the Canaries.
