The young hopefuls attended open evenings, including in Blackpool, where they heard about the experiences of other youngsters who were already apprentices at sites at Warton and Samlesbury.

Hundreds of youngsters were at an event at Blackpool FC’s Bloomfield Road. Similar events were held at Preston North End and Blackburn Rovers’ stadiums.
