Town have drawn Bristol Rovers at home in the first round of the Capital One Cup.
The Blues last met the League Two side in the third round of the FA Cup in January 1998 when Town won 1-0 in a replay at Portman Road with David Johnson scoring the goal. The first tie had been played in icy conditions at the Memorial Ground and had ended 1-1 with Mick Stockwell netting for the Blues.
The most famous meeting between the clubs also came in the FA Cup on the way to Wembley in 1978. The first game at Eastville ended 2-2 with Robin Turner scoring twice, again in wintry weather, before the Blues won the replay 3-0 at Portman Road with Clive Woods, Mick Mills and Paul Mariner on the scoresheet.
The clubs have never met in the League Cup, while Rovers have had the better of the games between the clubs overall, winning 15 (15 in the league), drawing nine (seven) and with Town victorious on 13 (nine) occasions.
The match is likely to be played on Tuesday 14th August ahead of the start of the Championship campaign on the following Saturday, although the Football League is allowing clubs to move games to the preceding Saturday.
