With the early stages of the competition televised, Town may even benefit from a TV windfall.
Paul Groves was pleased to get a home draw, but acknowledge that QPR, who beat Town 1-0 earlier this month, are a touch prospect.
"A tough one," Groves told Mariners Net. "I would say at this moment in time that this is probably the toughest team that we could draw. But we're at home, so I don't think we could ask for any more - it's a good one."
