After the penalties victory over Preston North End, Notts County have been handed as good of draw as they could have wished for when they were drawn at home to another First Division outfit, the tractor boys of Ipwich Town.

The draws of League Cups and FA Cups have not been most kind to Notts County – with the last home cup tie (not including LDV Vans trophy) came in November 2001 when Notts ran out 2-0 winners over Cambridge United in a FA Cup 1st Round replay.

Hopefully, the fans can rally round and get plenty of us rolling through the turnstiles and hand some juicy gate receipts to new owners – that is if the deal goes through.

The game will take place the week commencing Monday 22nd September 2003.
