Town have drawn Hull City away in the third round of the FA Cup. Earlier in the season the Tigers beat the Blues 1-0 in the Championship at Portman Road.

Midfielder Jimmy Bullard will be particularly keen to put one over on his old club having left them in less than amicable circumstances in the summer.

The clubs have never met in cup competition before. Third round ties will be played on the weekend of 7th and 8th January.

On-loan striker Ronan Murray was evidently delighted with his and Swindon's tie against Premier League opposition having come on as a sub in yesterday's 1-0 victory at Colchester, tweeting: "Wigan at home in the cup!!"

Andy Drury's loan at Crawley is due to finish prior to their third round tie at home to Bristol City but the midfielder could well return to the Red Devils on a permanent basis when the January transfer window opens.

It is a great shame that people like you even claim to be supporters or have any football knowledge !

garethch added 02:59 - Dec 5 Is this a story about Jewell or does it even mention his name? No & no...so what is the point of putting "JEWELL OUT" anywhere in your comments? Phil states "Please keep News Comments on topic". Why can't some people follow SIMPLE instructions??!!

bluelady added 09:46 - Dec 5 Jas how can you say your speaking for the vast majority? the vast majority of fans aplauded the players off on saturday and in my stand they also voiced their support of PJ for being able to raise his players after the shambles on tuesday! Im not saying i am happy Jas, i am not saying i think he should def stay either i am simply stating that the vast majority of fans do not post on here so it is very difficult to assume that they all want him gone.

Thats how legends are born ... Just saying ...
