Dale grab an extra Ball
Without a SSN reporter camped outside Spotland with a backdrop of pre-pubescent acne ridden youths, Dale have added to their ranks by bringing in Peterborough striker David Ball on loan.
Ball has been a regular at Posh this season, and has scored three goals for the London Road side. He joined Peterborough earlier this year from Manchester City after impressing at Swindon on an earlier loan spell.
Reports on him are highly positive and he is well known to Steve Eyre having scored the winning penalty in the City Youth's 2008 FA Cup win. The 21 year old is likely to go straight into the starting line up for this weekend's game at Stevenage.
Ball brings Dale's loan tally up to six. Football League rules stipulate that we can field up to a maximum of five loan players in a matchday squad.

The Coventry Conference – ReportCoventry away, for so long a fixture that loomed almost as large as the spectre of Eoin Jess over Queens Park Rangers, turned into an eighth away win of the campaign and survival party for a manager and support base who both really stepped up when it mattered in 23/24.
