If you follow La Liga you will know that Betis of Seville had a nightmare season 2013/14 finishing bottom and managing to lose on penalties to their sworn rivals Sevilla in the Europa League. You may also know that there is little tradition of mass away fan followings in Spain, barring the big 2 who have fans everywhere, and local derbies.
For their first game in Segunda, Betis won 3-2 away at Sabadell, with a huge 3,000+ away following - checkout the highlights.

Not too shabby,.....until you realise that Sabadell is north of Barcelona and a cool 1,007 kms from Seville - a round trip by car of 17 hours!
Viva Betico!
