A former Premier League referee has decried the PGMOL's extensive renovation as a 'waste of money' amid a number of controversial VAR calls in the English top flight this season.
Stockley Park received over £1million-worth of tune-ups ahead of the start of the 2022-23 campaign to improve the 'elite performance' VAR hub, including a state-of-the art gym, futuristic design, and plush meeting rooms for pre- and post-match debriefs.
Global design firm Populous - who also had a hand in the creation of Tottenham's £1bn Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - were behind the facility's overhaul, which now includes an 'elite conditioning space' for match officials, and a 'designated recovery space' in a bid to ensure officials remain in peak physical form.
