For Most Sports, it has to be England.

Travel in big numbers all over the world.

For Cricket, they take thousands. 30,000 went to the last ashes tour

8,000 currently in S Africa.


For club sides, Man U ?

I travel away wih England on a regular basis and the majority of followers are from smaller clubs - you dont tend to get the Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal fans going however you do get alot of the other bigger london clubs going

8,500 to Amsterdam for a friendly not bad mid week

On everage for places like Croatia Belarus Russia 2,500 to 3,000 - Belive me you have to do alot of admin work before and after you travel away with England to earn your caps for future trips although it is run very well !!

Wales rugby took 65000 to Ireland the same year.
