That means it cost Sunderland fans a whopping £1381.34 more to follow their team than Wycombe supporters with the two teams set to face off at Wembley on May 21.
Even without the trip to Wembley, which Alex Neil's side secured on Monday night with their 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland fans who travelled to every away game would still have to spend over £3,000 and would still rank above second placed Swindon Town. Port Vale rank bottom of the 10 team list, with their costs coming in at £2,347.78.
