Ipswich Town won the league to become one of the forming teams for the new Premier League that was contested from the 1992–93 season onwards. Season summary John Lyall began his second season as Ipswich manager by watching his team draw 3–3 at Bristol Rovers on the opening day of the Second Division campaign. Three successive wins followed, ensuring that Ipswich finished August as leaders of the Second Division. However, an eight-match winless run left Ipswich's promotion hopes fading by the middle of November. A 2–1 win at Wolves ended the long wait for victory, and Ipswich Town back in the heat of the race for automatic promotion to the new FA Premier League. They were up against big-spending clubs Blackburn Rovers and Derby County in the race for promotion, but also found themselves with some surprise rivals in the race in the shape of their distant local rivals Cambridge United and Southend United. By the end of April, Ipswich had sealed promotion to the new Premier League and clinched the Second Division title, ending their six-year absence from the top flight. The season ended with a 3–1 home win over doomed Brighton.
