No extra time this evening!

Should tonight's JPT Northern Second Round match at Darlington not be decided at the end of 90 minutes the match will be settled on penalties. There will be no extra time. In order to maintain the feasibility of the Members Cup, the Football League have said that clubs must ensure that six of the starting 11 players have started the majority of league matches, something the Darlington boss as already moaned about.

Former Town striker Pawel Abbott will not feature this evening for the Quakers, as he is injured, but the Town players will not take the match lightly as they hope to dispose of Darlington who are expecting a small attendance in their 25,000 all seater arena on the outskirts of the North Eastern town.

But with the destination for the final Wembley Stadium, no players from the lower division will take this lightly, as the Terriers look to improve on recent seasons in a competition they achieved runners-up spot in 1993/1994.

Town's last success in this competition was a first round 3-0 victory over Morecambe on home soil in September 2004.

Both Darlington and Huddersfield received a bye through to round two.

The Terriers recent performances in the Members Cup:

2007/2008 - Round one - lost 1-4 at Grimsby Town
2006/2007 - Round one - lost 1-2 at home to Doncaster Rovers
2005/2006 - Round one - lost 1-2 at Boston United
2004/2005 - Round one - lost 6-3 at Blackpool
2003/2004 - Round two - lost at Carlisle 0-2, round one - bye
2002/2003 - Round one - lost at Wrexham 1-2

Foxes edge Town in classic

Match Result | Huddersfield Town v Leicester City | League One | The Galpharm Stadium | 04/10/2008

League leaders Leicester City came out the strongest in a five goal thriller with a late winner after Town had fought back from 2-0 down. The late Dyer winner for the visitors was harsh on Town who had the better of a pulsating first half. The referee awarded a free kick that never was and a fluke goal followed.

A brace from Matty Fryatt had given City a 2-0 lead, the second a harsh penalty decision on Town's right back Jim Goodwin. Town boss Stan Ternent was rightfully aggrieved with the referee for the award of the penalty kick. Goals from Gary Roberts and Liam Dickinson brought the Terriers level.

But Town hearts were broken as City maintained their leadership position with a late winner.

The Town fans were terrific for the entire match, with great support travelling with Leicester City.
