Jones to become League record holder

Dale captain Gary Jones will break the club's record for League appearances when he makes his 318th appearance for Dale in a league match, surpassing Graham Smith's record.

Jones has already broken Smith's record for all time appearances when he hit the 346 mark during last season, and he was due to break the league appearance record in the final game of last season, only for Keith Hill to opt for a weakened side with the Play Offs on the way.

But Saturday's game to Grimsby will give him the opportunity to break that League appearance record, ten years and seven months after he made his first appearance for the club in an away defeat at Peterborough.

Jonah has continued to go from strength to strength during his time at the club, and he swept the board at last season's Player of the Season awards evening, scooping the Club's Player of the Season award, the Players' Player of the Season award, and the Supporters' Player of the Season award.
