Interesting that they're the only two grounds in the Premier League that do not have a big screen.
It seems everyone else has moved onto the 21st century except for the two biggest clubs in the country.
Rather kills the excitement a bit when VAR decisions are announced over the PA system and I must admit that I watch in envy when fans of other clubs stand up and applaud a fan or a club legend who has recently passed when a message is displayed on the big screen - there's great pride and solidarity amongst the fans
We pretty much don't see this at Old Trafford or Anfield

JDo screens actually replay the var reviews?
If not we aren't missing out on that, would be nice to see goals again. They're quite slow to let the crowd know things are being reviewed mind.

I like OT being an old style proper football stadium but sadly accept that the club can’t really afford to let it stay that way.

I thought the idea was that the crowd could see the replay and how they come to the decision, not sure if that's actually happening.

It is good to see replays of goals in the stadium.
They also show other things like close chances etc but they don't show fouls usually as it could cause a riot!

I think the fact there is a VAR decision kills the moment for supporters rather than the fact there is a PA message telling us there is one pending.
Nip down to the concourses to watch it on the telly if you need to watch it on a telly.

Better yet, nip down to the monitor at the edge of the pitch near the technical area. It’s not like the referees use it anyway.
