Leicester have, in my eyes, the best away following in this League.
Closely followed by Cardiff and maybe Forest.
Much as it pains me to admit it(being a Hull fan), Leeds have the best away support.
Though they balance it out by having **** home support.

I hope you're joking.
Leeds take bigger numbers than anyone else in the country, let alone the Championship, when when we play away. That's a fact. Vocally the best as well, I'd say from a completely biased perspective. We are also the biggest draw in the division in terms of attracting the opposition's home fans: http://stats.checkyourodds.co.uk/Championship-Attendances-Away.php
I'd put Forest second from what I've seen, they seem to take good numbers everywhere they go. I think there's probably a link between history and good away support; big clubs with large out of town followings like Leeds and possibly Forest are going to have more away fans dotted about.
Last game I went to was Leeds vs Coventry at Elland Road.
1. They brought about 1,500 fans, which wasn't bad considering I was expecting them to bring about a third of that.
2. They were loud towards the beginning, petered out a bit when we went 1-0 up as you'd expect.
3. See above.
4. Stood.
5. Marlon King-related chants were fairly amusing from both sides.
6. No bother from what I saw, most of it tends to happen outside the ground by the away fans' coaches though and I don't go that way.
7. Their 'We All Sing Together' chant, I think it's called; you'd expect just the generic chants from a club like Coventry but their historic song pleasantly surprised me. It's no 'Marching On Together' though.
8. 5/10: average.
We took 2,200 to our last away game(Scunny), which was all we were allocated, we all stood for the full game and spent most of it singing 'we want to go home, we want to go h-o-m-e, Scunthorpe's a ****hole, we want to go home'. They might as well have given us another 2,000, they didn't need them.
So you weren't singing 'Don't wanna go home, don't wanna go home, this is the best trip I've ever been on', then? That would require a microphone and 500 gallons of fake tan, I suppose...
When the Preston fans started singing 'Brownie, Brownie, give us a wave' on Saturday, we replied with 'Brownie, Brownie, sing us a song'.
Fortunately, he didn't.
If your a big club then why did it take you 3 years to get out of a league you didn't even win?
Seriously, wake up and smell the coffee.
I'm a series of pixels on the internet. Get a grip man.
Why would that have any bearing on how big a club is? Already well awake, and the coffee was horrible, give me a cup of English breakfast tea any day over that trash!
Leeds vs Norwich
1. They brought about 2300
2. Couldn't really hear them, I was at the other end of the ground
3. See above
4. Stood I think
5. Lansbury making a tit of himself.
6. We KO'd a few grannies and kids, nothing major. Same every time we play Norwich.
7. "Leeds is a ****hole, I want to go home". I never saw Norwich in the UK's Top Five Places To Live poll.
Rating: can't really rate them as I wasn't near enough. Probably 6/10 as they brought more than the average Championship team. Plus their dress sense was highly amusing.
