VAR at The Riverside?

[Ravs]

Thought I heard that VAR will be utilized for this League Cup season commencing with the SF round. Are we equipped for it? Has it ever been in operation at The Riverside?

 

[Air Resistance]

I’m pretty sure we’ve already had a cup game with it at the riverside

Yeah it was used last year when Chelsea knocked us out of the FA cup.

Yes VAR will be in use for the semi-finals.

 

[TeaCider]

Used against Burton in 2018 too.

Neither match had an incident that needed VAR intervention.

 

[BoroPhil]

Will we have it for the Villa game as well then?

No I don’t think so, it’s only used if it’s a Premier League ground
