The Rovers Academy showed their support for Anti-Bullying Week by participating in Odd Socks Day during their latest round of fixtures.

Odd Socks Day (Monday 13th November) marks the start of Anti-Bullying Week and is an opportunity to encourage people to express themselves, and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique.

The aim is to raise awareness of bullying and to show their support, five of the club’s Academy teams from Under-9s to Under-13s wore odd socks for their matches on Sunday 12th November.

The teams were playing in a mixture of matches vs Stoke City as part of the Premier League Games Programme.

Rovers’ Academy were also playing in a triangular tournament at Burton Albion, with Lincoln City the other team to be involved.

The players wore one blue sock (home kit) and one yellow sock (third kit) and we invited our opponents the opportunity to also take part.
