Notts County to face Bristol Rovers at Meadow Lane in FA Cup first round

Notts County have been handed a home draw against Bristol Rovers in the first round of the FA Cup.

The draw was made on Monday night at 7pm, with the ties to be played on the weekend of November 4.

It's a tricky draw for the Magpies, who will face a mid-table League One team, though Kevin Nolan's team at least has home advantage.

It will be the first time that the two sides have met since facing each other in League Two in March 2016, with the Gas claiming a 2-0 win at Meadow Lane on that day.

Last season Notts made it to the second round of the competition after needing a replay to overcome non-league Boreham Wood.

In the following round, League One side Peterborough United were also taken to a replay but Notts succumbed to a 2-0 defeat in the second game.
