HOW far would you go to support your football team?

It's a question Alex Bedingham can answer with impressive precision: 474 miles per away point.

Superfan Alex followed York City across England last season, clocking up more than 7,500 miles and spending £1,750 in the process. That works out at nearly £90 per City away goal, which is not a good value for money by any calculation.

City's sharpshooters must improve their strike rate next season, if only to net long-suffering Alex a better deal.
