Magpies will travel to Spotland after Rochdale beat Boston in second round replay

A 2-1 victory saw Dale progress after the two sides had drawn 0-0 earlier this month. Peter Crook's early own goal was cancelled out by Jordan Thewlis, but Aaron Morley's 79th-minute spot-kick put Brian Barry-Murphy's side through to face the Magpies at the Crown Oil Arena - formerly known as Spotland - on Saturday, 4th January 2020 (kick-off 12.31pm GMT).

As part of the Heads Up campaign, all 32 Emirates FA Cup Third Round fixtures (excluding replays) will kick-off one minute later than their traditionally scheduled timeslots to encourage fans to 'Take A Minute' to think about looking after their mental health. During the minute delay, fans will be encouraged to consider the positive impact 60 seconds can have on their own wellbeing or in supporting a friend or family member.

Heads Up is partnering with Public Health England’s Every Mind Matters across the Emirates FA Cup Third Round to draw attention to the simple steps we can all take to look after our mental health and wellbeing.

Rochdale are one of eight current members of the Football League who the Magpies have never met in a competitive fixture.

Ticket details will be confirmed later this week. The tie will be shown live on BT Sport.
