Simon Toon, chief executive at LSV said: “When we agreed the partnership with Rovers 12 months ago one of our main aims was to extend our links with the local community and I must say that it has turned out better than we even hoped. “”Attendances have risen as high as 3,000 with local people, especially youngsters, turning out in force to watch Premier League players in action, and we now hope to extend the community programme into schools for next year.” Blackburn football secretary, Andrew Pincher, added: “The arrangement has worked really well and the facility has earned rave reviews not only from our officials and players but from visiting clubs too.” LSV CHIEF EXECUTIVE SIMON TOON WITH RESERVE COACH IAIN BRUNSKILL
