in the Championship, but from what I can tell the calls are only coming from media outlets like Skysports.
Dean Saunders suggested on TalkSport yesterday that it is brought in, but only for the final game of the season and the play offs, but with no mention of of who would pay for its introduction, not to mention the upgrading of lights. I believe the stadium lights need to be at a certain Lux value for VAR to operate. For me personally, I'd rather see it left in the Premier League, and even then to be radically overhauled.
But, do other folk make me right that the loudest calls for it seem to be coming from media outlets, and not from clubs or fans? [Post edited 7 Apr 20:51]

I don’t know of any fans that actually want VAR in the Championship. Or any other league for that matter. The only people likely to call for it are the types that spend more time on twitter than they do watching football.
Despite all the crap we’ve dealt with this season from poor referees, I’d have that over VAR any day. |  | | |

It depends on how it is implemented. Prem-style? Preferably not.
But an amended version with one or more of the following? Yea, potentially worth a go.
- time limited reviews
- captains/managers appeals
- common sense offsides rather than ridiculous millimetre decisions
- benefit of the doubt sticking with on field decisions | | | |

When you think the Championship is now regarded as one of the most exciting leagues in Europe, why would anyone want to introduce something to it that will knock all the excitement and joy out of it, literally overnight. | |

There are few match going fans who want VAR in my opinion, as in the end it’s the match going experience which is ruined by VAR, while the armchair fan and the broadcaster simply lap it up. The endless news cycle doesn’t help, nor does the money in the game, which is a key driver of VAR and the vain attempt to impose certainty on subjectivity. |  | | |

If VAR has taught us anything, once the cat is out the bag that's it. It won't stop where you've suggested, because the argument will be that if you're using technology you should use it for everything.
The Championship should go nowhere here it. It would be an absolute catastrophe.
Also, no offence but time limited reviews and appeals sounds awful. It's just complicating the game even further. |  |

FA cup has VAR from 5th round, eg Port Vale had it in the 5th round at home vs. Sunderland. So I’m assuming that it can be used for one offs like the last game of the season/play offs. | | | |

The crying about decisions on here as well as other clubs is way OTT.
Yes refs make wrong decisions. BUT I'd rather that then stopping the game every 2 mins for something and after every goal/penalty etc.
Aren't they trying to bring it in for corners too (or will that be like the goal line technology?) | | | |

It was the media who drove much of the 'demand' for VAR in the first place. Endless controversy over minor refereeing errors - it's not as if the use of VAR has resolved that as the non-penalty against Leicester (24-25 season version) demonstrates. |  |

Yes, VAR for corners in the World Cup.
NO to VAR in the Championship. I believe VAR will be in operation in the play-off final, so if we get there I won't be able to celebrate goals like I did in 2000. |  | | |

BBC News - VAR: FSA survey finds 75% of Premier League fans against system
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/fo
"Of those asked, 90% disagreed that the introduction of the technology in the Premier League has improved the matchday experience, and 91% believe VAR has harmed the spontaneity of goal celebrations". | | | |

Ahh, yes. "A coming together" if ever I saw one.

Amen to that. I was a fan initially of VAR, let's say I've seen the error of my ways. Matches should be refereed by on field officials only, mistakes and all. You win some, you lose some, as we've found out over the past few weeks! |  | | |

Only a matter of time I believe until we see VAR in the championship. Many inferior leagues across the world have VAR including the Thai 2nd tier and the Singapore league so I do not think the finances is the reason we currently do not have it. | | | |

VAR in Singapore and in Thailand was paid for by Fifa, in order to develop football in those areas from the Fifa Forward program.
Here the cost is borne by the clubs. You're comparing apples and oranges. | |
