Newport County averaged 363 away supporters per League Two match in 2025/26, placing them 16th in the division for travelling support. The Exiles finished 20th in the final standings with 43 points, 44 behind leaders Bromley, but their fanbase showed strong commitment on the road.
How did Newport County compare to rivals?
The 363 average was higher than 8 other League Two sides, including nearby rivals Cheltenham Town (326). However, it trailed behind clubs like Bristol Rovers (839) and Swindon Town (907). Newport's final away game saw them beat Barrow 2-1 on May 2, 2026, ending the season on a two-game winning streak.
What does this mean for the club?
While not in the top half for away support, Newport's figures show a dedicated following despite a challenging season. The club's recent form (WWLWL) suggests momentum heading into the 2026/27 campaign, with their next fixture at home to Tranmere Rovers on August 29.
Why do away attendances matter?
Away support reflects fan loyalty and can boost player morale. For Newport, maintaining or growing these numbers will be key as they aim to improve on their 20th-place finish. The 48 goals scored and 77 conceded (-29 goal difference) highlight areas for improvement on the pitch.
