The date of the 2004/05 season Carling Cup First Round draw has been announced to be taking place on Thursday 8 July 2004 although the time of the draw has yet to be disclosed.

Leicester City have also been confirmed to have been given a bye to the Second Round of the competition due to their 18th place Premiership finish last season whilst First Division side, Millwall will follow the Foxes into the next round due to their UEFA cup commitments.

Notts will go into the competition in hope of an encore of last season's Carling Cup heroics as they eliminated First Division opponents Preston (penalties) and Ipswich (2-1) before the pawpers faced 'Chelski' in a glamorous Third Round tie at Stamford Bridge. The Magpies doing themselves no harm whatsoever, coming away defeated by the Champions League Semi-Finalists to a 4-2 scoreline.

Rest assured that Notts County-MAD will bring you the draw as and when we recieve word of this.
