Tonight sees County play their first home game of the season; a League Cup 1st round match against Championship side Preston North End. Now, being located some 120miles away, midweek home games are fairly tricky affairs to get to (the same can be said for weekend games, as my experience at the play-off semi final proved 2 years ago). So, tonights game will be followed through a combination of Sky, BBC and various iPhone apps.
Hopefully, County will have a better run than last year (we went out in round 1), and the football gods have been quite kind. County have had some decent battles with PNE (from what I can recall), PNE suffered a disappointing home defeat on Saturday and the fact Paul Simpson previously managed PNE obviously adds a touch more spice. Being at home certainly helps, and with reduced admission prices, hopefully a decent crowd will be present (the prospect of free hotpot for fans has certainly caught the imagination).
So, will tonight bring a morale-boosting win (with subsequent glamour match in the 2nd round), or will dreams of Wembley be dashed at the first hurdle. We'll know the answer at 10pm tonight.
