Get rid of VAR - or you lose the fans! Almost half of Premier League football supporters say they will attend fewer games if despised video technology continues... and 95% say the delays it causes make watching less enjoyable

A scathing study into the use of VAR in football has discovered that almost half of Premier League supporters will attend fewer games if the controversial technology is kept in place next season.

The survey, which was carried out by the Football Supporters' Association, found that 44 per cent of match-going fans would stop going to watch their teams in action, with a string of VAR incidents having led to outrage.

Damningly, it has also been revealed that 95 per cent of the respondents believe VAR has made the experience of being at a game less enjoyable since its introduction in 2019.
