Notts County have played Huddersfield Town 33 times in their history, the first fixture coming in December 1913, when the Magpies coasted to a 3-0 victory.
Out of all the games, Notts have won 11 and lost 15, with seven draws.
Our last game against the Terriers was in January 2012, a League One game which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Notts haven’t beaten Huddersfield since March 2003, a 3-2 win in the old Second Division. Three defeats and the 2012 draw followed.
Huddersfield entered the Football League for the first time in 1910, just three years after their formation.
In 1926, it became the first English team to win three successive league titles – a feat that only three other clubs have been able to match.
Huddersfield Town also won the FA Cup in 1922 and have been runners-up on four other occasions.
During the club's heyday, on 27 February 1932 the club achieved a record attendance of 67,037 during their FA Cup 6th round tie against Arsenal at Leeds Road – this attendance has been bettered by only 13 other clubs in the history of the Football League.
The town of Huddersfield is known for its role in the Industrial Revolution and for being the birthplaces of rugby league, British Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson, and the international film star James Mason.
Huddersfield railway station is a Grade I listed building described by venerable poet and writer John Betjeman as 'the most splendid station façade in England' second only to St Pancras, London.
Iron Maiden immortalised the name of the town with a song called “Sheriff of Huddersfield”.

Notts County defender Mawouna Amevor is suspended after being sent off in the 2-0 win over Stevenage.
Amevor's fellow defender Civard Sprockel came off injured at half-time so is a doubt, but Blair Adams is expected to be fit.
Huddersfield will be without Sean Scannell, Joe Lolley and James Vaughan as they are out with hamstring & shin injuries and concussion respectively.
