Posh Date Set - Ipswich Town News
Town's Carling Cup first round match at Peterborough has been set for Tuesday, 22nd August with a 7.45pm kick-off. The game will be the Blues 150th in the League Cup.
Boss Jim Magilton told the club site that he feels it is an interesting tie: "It's a good draw and has a derby feel about it.
"Our fans won't have to travel too far and, while the league is obviously our priority, a nice run in the cup competitions would be very welcome.
"Peterborough's chairman Barry Fry sent me a nice letter after I got the job here and is one of the great characters in the game. They have a new manager themselves in Keith Alexander, who I always felt did a good job at Lincoln."
