Over 75 per cent of fans are against the use of VAR in football, with more than 90 per cent feeling it has made the match-going experience worse since its 2019-20 inception in the Premier League, according to a new survey by the Football Supporters’ Association [FSA]. More pertinent for authorities is that fans feel that the various changes to the system have not actually brought any substantial improvements.
The FSA are the largest supporter group in the country, and surveyed 7,981 fans. In addition to the standout findings, over 85 per cent feel that VAR makes football less enjoyable, with just over 75 per cent feeling the reasons for its use are still not clear in the stadium.
