League One away attendances: How Birmingham City's 1,848 at Wycombe compares to their rivals
Birmingham City supporters witnessed their first win of the League One season as they came from behind to defeat Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park.
An own goal from Krystian Bielik saw Blues trail but Alfie May levelled things up and then Luke Harris put them in front before Willum Willumsson made sure of the vicory. Former Wales striker Sam Vokes scored a consolation goal in stoppage time but Birmingham were able to hold on and they maintained their unbeaten start to the season.

Hide AdWycombe were the first team of the league season to have Birmingham supporters descend on their ground, and you can bet that they will sell out most of them or at least take four figures to every game. Birmingham took just under 2,000 fans to Buckinghamshire, and that puts them just outside the top six in regards to the largest away followings from the opening two fixtures of the season.
Every team now has played home and away, and whilst it’s early days, it’s always nice to see which clubs might be the most supported over the course of the season. Stockport County took an impressive 3,911 fans to Blackpool and they were all rewarded as they watched their side win 3-0 at Bloomfield Road.
In second was Wrexham who took 3,800 fans away to the Toughsheet Community Stadium as the Red Dragons played to a goalless draw with Bolton Wanderers. If you switch that, at the other end of the table, it's estimated that 437 Shrewsbury Town supporters witnessed a 1-0 defeat to Stevenage last week.
Out of the 24 teams in League One, 23 of them have either an estimated or an exact figure for their first away following of the season. Here’s how Birmingham stacks up against the likes of Mansfield Town, Huddersfield Town and Barnsley.
