Preston Prices Set - Ipswich Town News
Town have confirmed that the FA Cup third round tie against Preston at Portman Road will take place on Saturday 4th January (KO 3pm) with adult tickets costing £15, concessions £10 and under-16s £3.
The clubs have met in the competition on two previous occasions, in February 1954 when the Lilywhites won 6-1 at Deepdale, then in January 1980 when Town ran out 3-0 victors also on Preston territory with Paul Mariner netting twice and Alan Brazil once.
Simon Grayson's Preston beat Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 away in round two on Saturday, having defeated Barnet 6-0 in the first round. They are currently third in League One.
The teams last met in the Championship in the 2010/11 season when the Lancastrians won 1-0 at home and the Blues 2-1 at Portman Road.
The game will be Town's first home FA Cup tie since the 3-0 victory over Chesterfield in January 2009.
