Blackpool fans setto go the distance

The average Manchester United fan would refuse to travel more than 60 miles to see their team play, according to a survey.

But fans of newly promoted Blackpool are willing to go more than 170 miles to cheer on the Tangerines, research by Europcar found. And while most Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs fans are not prepared to go to more than one away game this season, Blackpool fans are looking to go to almost six away matches.
