Town have drawn League One Stevenage away in the first round of the Capital One Cup.

The teams have not previously met in a competitive fixture, although they faced one another in a pre-season friendly in the summer of 2007 when the then-Conference side won 3-0.

Blues central defender Tommy Smith had a spell on loan with Stevenage in 2008, making 15 Conference appearances.

The tie will be played in the week commencing 5th August. The draw was seeded based on the final league positions during the 2012/13 season and split on a north-south basis.

Last season’s two highest-placed relegated Premier League sides have received byes through to round two in the case of Reading and round three for Wigan.

The 2013/14 league fixtures are released on Wednesday at 9am when as usual they will be available on TWTD.

itfctrent added 13:49 - Jun 17 Not surprised to see that we are away for this. However, I do believe that Stevenage will provide to be a stern test. Lets hope it can be a town victory and we can enjoy a good cup run - we are due one!!
