It appears that the Club are trying to force Jeff Peron’s hand in staying or going. I don’t blame them. If Peron, who at the end of the day is a quality player on quality money, isn’t interested in playing for us then he should go.

And if the only Clubs interested in signing him are only of a similar standard to us then that should tell him something. At 32 he cannot afford to waste time playing Pontins football against Rochdale reserves and Uncle Ray knows this. He needs to decide to stay or go and soon and reserve football will probably make the decision a little easier.

The reserves, by the way, drew one a-piece with the Dale.
