For me I suppose Bradford, for Jonah and feel they'll pose a bigger threat next season than Northampton. Also don't like hoofroyd. |  | | |  |

Bradford captain Gary Jones: "It's probably the best moment of my life, apart from the birth of my kids. We came out with a gameplan. We knew they were direct and we had to get it down and play. As you get older moments like this don't come around too often."
Really pleased for him. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

"As the game becomes more stretched, the presence of Gary Jones in the Bradford midfield becomes ever apparent. He has run the show today - the 35-year-old continues to be one of the best midfielders in League Two." BBC SPORT
Good on him! #twingeofpainandregret |
Just think, Hilly and Flicker deemed Jonah only worthy of a one year contract due to his age, that was over two years ago. They where wrong.
Our best player has one poor season and we are in such a strong position as a club that we decide that we can let him go so he can get his mojo back at another club, only at Rochdale.
Jonah had enough credits in the bank to be excused a poor season (they all played crap that season), but a lot of people had very short memories. If he had a poor season at Bradford the doubters would have said it was right to get rid of him because of his age but now the story changes to " He needed a fresh challenge". Its a load of baloney, the bottom line is we got rid of our captain and legend and some supporters applauded the decision and held the front door open.
Jonah should still be at the club ready to start the season as Hillys number two. |  | | |

And a year ago Hill was shown to be right for only offering a year. And I can't remember anyone applauding any decision, merely having an opinion based on the facts - an opinion backed up by this season's predictable resurgence in a Bradford side that has been crying out for an on pitch leader.
He shouldn't be still at Dale because the world doesn't work like that,(he certainly wasn't our best player) if he'd stayed he might not have been involved as much and his career may have petered out. We'll never know, but one thing we can be sure of is that Gary Jones is enjoying being at Bradford right now than he would be at Dale.

For goodness sake let him enjoy his time at Bradford now, I am sure Jones is glad he made the move. So many people on here stuck in the past.
Onwards and upwards and here's to a great season ahead. |  | | |

Really pleased for Jonah, he deserves every bit of success wherever it occurs
It really is as simple as that, and any noises about leaving Dale are pretty irrelevant |  |

To try and get off all the Jonah talk...
We only lost one of eight games against the teams that went up now.
Record against the promoted teams:
Played: 8
Won: 3 (Gills away, Bradford away, Rotherham away,
Drawn: 4 (Bradford Home, Gills Home, Vale Home and Away)
Lost: 1 (Rotherham Home)
Scored: 15
Conceded: 12.
(Just did that off the top of my head so may be wrong) |  |

Youre spot on but please don't post your opinion on here that may taint the god like figure that Jonah is round these parts,any chance we can bring up Barnsley im missing their daily thread,where's Whitey when you need him!! | | | |

I'm afraid I think the exact same. Hill may have been enough of a factor to make him stay if Bradford had stayed down. With the offer of higher wages, bigger club and league one football, I can't see him staying at Spotland.
Hope I'm wrong, but we could lose two quality central midfielders this summer for nowt. |  | | |

Hilly was the same as some other Dale supporters at the time, the reason they cited Jonahs time was up was because he was deemed too old. Lets not try to distort the facts by pretending it was because he needed a fresh challenge !!
The old posts can all be regurgitated if needs be, only a few months earlier he was pulling up trees in league one so it was obvious there would still be plenty in the tank. He was playing in a very bad team and his game suffered because he was trying to put fires out all over the pitch, a blind man could see that.
The way some fans turned their back on him at the end was terrible, basically they trusted Colemans judgement. Getting rid of him so he could find himself again is just a cop out out for some people. Hilly didnt offer him a 2yr contract because of his age and we all know that. Its uncomfortable reading for some people but lets not distort the truth please. | | | |

That Hilly only offered one year doesn't mean he'd have offered a further year had Hill stayed. |  |

That Hilly only offered one year doesn't mean he'd have offered a further year had Hill stayed. |
But Hilly eulogises this week in an interview about his impact at the club, i find it hard to believe that he only offered him a one year deal because he thought he might need a new challenge at another club.
It was because of his age that he didnt get a 2 year deal, anyway we have the evergreen BBM in reserve now doubling up in a coaching role so Hilly must be right  | | | |

His age wasn't my problem, it was that he'd become stale at the club. Not all his own fault as managers had left him in the side far too long.
Maybe Hill only offered a year because he thought that's all Jones deserved at that time? Maybe he wanted to review it after that year. We don't know that it was because of his age, unless there's an interview where Hill says so? Once he got two years after Eyre's arrival it looked a year too much. If we'd known he'd have played for Dale as he did for Bradford, he'd still be here, but it's all guesswork.
Fans didn't turn their back on him, but some judged him on his performances. That's fair enough. | |

After his previous season i think he deserved to be cut some slack. Anyway, you can probably guess it still riles me that he is no longer at the club. I need to move on  | | | |
