ROVERS celebrated their annual OneRovers Day in Saturday’s home match with Northampton Town.
The players wore ‘Kick It Out’ t-shirts during the warm-up as well as ‘OneRovers’ shirts when being led out by fans from all aspects of the local community.
The day was to help promote inclusion, value diversity and end discrimination.
A club spokesman said: All involved with Rovers have the right to be treated with respect. The club recognises it has an active role to play in ensuring players, officials, staff, fans, customers, members of the community, partners and other stakeholders value and encourage diversity, promote inclusion and end discrimination.
“Our community comprises many different people and we want our fans to reflect the community. The club interacts with many diverse groups through social activities, partnerships and projects undertaken by Blackburn Rovers Community Trust.”
