away fans

Opposing team's crowd

Away fans are supporters who travel to watch their team play at an opponent's venue, as opposed to home fans who attend games at their own team's stadium.

The term is most common in British football culture, where away fans typically sit in a designated section separated from home supporters: The away fans were in full voice despite being outnumbered.
