Losses were slashed at Blackburn Rovers to their lowest level since 2017 after the Championship club sold their Senior Training Centre, new documents have confirmed.
The Ewood Park outfit have posted pre-tax losses of £6.5m for the 12 months to June 30, 2021, compared to losses of £21.9m during the prior year.
Rovers also reported a turnover of £14.4m for the year, a rise form £13.5m.
In October 2021, LancsLive reported that Blackburn Rovers had sold their Senior Training Centre at Brockhall to a company named Venkatashwara London Limited, a new branch under the ownership of Venky's London Limited.
Match day revenue fell from £2.6m to £776,363 during the year because of the Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the Government.
However, media revenue increased from £6.8m to £8.9m and commercial earnings grew from £3.9m to £4.7m.
In a statement signed off by the board, chief executive Steve Waggott said: "Looking towards the future and as the club comes out of the inflicted Covid-19 survival mode, the emphasis and focus continues to be on trying to reinstate lost commercial revenue streams.
"Key to this will be fan engagement, community integration and attracting new 'Next Generation' supporters.
"The remit of the club's integration and development manager, working closely with our award-winning community trust, is to widen our reach into relatively untapped community groups and business networks across the area and region, and green shoots of their combined efforts are starting to be seen."
