Ipswich took a huge step towards a return to the Premier League for the first time since 2002 after a 2-1 win against Coventry.
The club popularly known as Tractor Boys now move three points clear of Leeds in second place in the Championship with just one match for both sides remaining.
Ipswich need just a point to guarantee promotion when they host Huddersfield, who are already practically relegated, on Saturday.
Under the guidance of former Manchester United coach Kieran McKenna, Ipswich are on the brink of back-to-back promotions.
“It’s another emotional night and we have had a few of them,” said McKenna.
“It’s a great night to enjoy in front of the supporters. We know the significance of tonight will not be determined until Saturday.
“To be on 93 points with a game to go is an incredible tally and credit to the boys.
“I never thought this could unfold so quickly. I came here because of the ambition of the club. The journey has accelerated, I have to say.”
McKenna’s men had not won in their previous four games as they failed to take full advantage of Leeds’ faltering form at the business end of the season.
Already, Leicester City have booked their place in the EPL next season.
