Fans have revealed what they would change about professional football – including better scheduling of away games, greater travel support from clubs and banning VAR.<br /><br />A poll of 2,000 adults who attend football matches found 54 per cent think their awayday experience could be improved as fans bemoan inconvenient kick-off times and not being able to drink at their seats.<br /><br />The research was commissioned by leading UK shot brand, Fireball, which whisked away four Salford City fans with a thrilling helicopter ride to and from their team’s recent match against Newport County.<br /><br />Ex-England star and club co-owner, Paul Scholes also surprised the fans as they headed off on the 400-mile round trip to South Wales, he said: “We wanted to show fans that we massively value their support both home and away, and want to make the game day experience as fun and exhilarating for them as possible.<br /><br />“We’re already known for offering subsidised away travel, something which this research shows football fans clearly care about.”
