BLACKBURN Rovers have been drawn away to Bournemouth or non-league Blyth Spartans in the third round of the FA Cup.
Northumberland side Blyth, who play their football in Blue Square North, drew 0-0 against League Two Bournemouth at Dean Court on Saturday.
Bournemouth won 7-6 on penalties at Ewood Park in a League Cup second-round tie in 2004 after a 3-3 draw after extra time, which included goals from future Burnley players Garreth O'Connor and John Spicer.
Former Rovers player Graham Fenton is a joint player and assistant manager at Blyth.
Third-round ties will take place on the weekend of January 3 and 4.
