Preferences of on the future use of VAR in the Premier League, by social grade
The NRS social grades are a system of demographic classification used in the United Kingdom. The grades are grouped here into ABC1 and C2DE; these are taken to equate to middle class and working class, respectively.
Although the majority of panelists indicated that VAR should continue to be used within the English Premier League, 77 percent of panelists within the ABC1 social grade and 69 percent of panelists within the C2DE social grade indicated that the way in which it is used should be changed. The share of panelists within the C2DE social grade that indicated that it should continue being used without any changes was significantly higher than the share of panelists within the ABC1 social grade with this preference.
