Capital One Cup Draw on Tuesday - Ipswich Town News

Town will learn their Capital One Cup first round opponents when the draw is made at 10am on Tuesday morning with their 2015/16 Championship fixtures following at 9am on Wednesday when they will be on TWTD.

The Capital One Cup first round draw is seeded and then split on a north and south basis. Town are amongst the seeded sides and will face a southern-based unseeded team drawn at random home or away. First round ties will be played during the week commencing 10th August.

Last year the Blues exited at the first hurdle, losing 1-0 away at Crawley Town after extra-time. It was the ninth time the Blues had been knocked out of the competition by a side from a lower division in 12 seasons.

Meanwhile, Town have announced ticket prices for the friendly at Cambridge United on Tuesday 21st July and have released a DVD of last season's highlights, which also includes an interview with manager Mick McCarthy.
