Town eye Thorpe extension

Grimsby Town are hoping to extend Stevenage Borough striker Tony Thorpe's loan spell at Blundell Park.
The 32-year-old has not managed to find the target during his initial month with the Mariners, but his hard-working displays have impressed manager Graham Rodger.
Talks about an extended deal are underway, but no agreement has yet been reached.
Meanwhile, Grimsby officials have decided not to appeal against Gary Jones' sending off for a late tackle on Peter Gain during last weekend's 2-2 draw at Peterborough United.
Jones will now serve a three-match ban, ruling him out of the games with Mansfield, MK Dons and Wycombe.
