AB This study breaks new ground by examining determinants of away fan travelin a professional football league. Using data from two consecutive seasons ofthe Spanish league, a gravity model is estimated based on a three-dimensionalpanel to discuss the effects of a number of factors that influence theflows of away fans. Results evidence the importance of factors such asdistance between locations, the day or time the match is played, anduncertainty concerning the visiting team’s current form. Joint interpretationof all these factors by the clubs and by those organising the competition mayhelp to reshape their management strategies, which would result inincreased flows of away supporters and an increase in sports clubs’ revenuesfrom this concept.
