I’m asking because there are plenty of downsides to promotion (losing more than we win, leaving behind the most enjoyable league there is, even less 3pm Saturday kick offs, VAR, some players who have done so much for the club leaving etc).
For me it’s simply that feeling of jubilation if we achieve it. The atmosphere during and after the Exeter game last season was special. A repeat would be incredible. |  |

The most likely chance of keeping hold of McKenna would be by going up for him to have a go at the Premier League with the side he's built to play his way. |  |

Can't decide whether it's:
a) To keep McKenna or
b) As it almost guarantees a number of exciting seasons for the next 5 or 6 (parachute payments if go down etc) | | | |

No matter which division we are in, a high % of our kick-offs won't be 3pm on a Saturday. | |

Plus we have to go up before we can gain a Champions League place to win that. | |

I don't remember us in the Prem before, and this is likely to be our best chance. If not this season, when? |  | | |

A very good point! Easy for us older fans to forget that those of you under 30 haven’t ever seen us in the top division. | |

I have a couple of other upsides...
Putting Ipswich players in my fantasy football team.
Living in Canada, I'll be able to say who I support without people saying 'Who?" (though it might take a while for that to trickle down).
But for me, keeping McKenna is everything, so promotion is everything. |  |

ITFC back in the big time, on the top table of English football. Be on MOTD, see the stars at PR and just enjoy all the good things that come with being in the PL, like picking ITFC players in Fantasy Football 
The last time we were there I had only just got into ITFC, glory hunter etc, and only remember watching a few games on TV. The Premier League wasn’t as big back then as it is now either. |  |

We were a joke for 15 years or so under Evans. Fans now respect us as a club again. I would love us to go up and be seen as the club we are capable of being.
Also, indirectly, it gives you a chance at other success like the cups and qualifying for Europe eventually if you can stay stay up. Or even if you come down, you have money to compete for more glorious seasons. |  |

As much as I don't think it's the promised land, in fact it's almost everything wrong with football, it is the pinnacle of our divisional structure.
So, the reason we compete is to do as well as we can, otherwise what is the point?
Also, I'd like to be in the European Super League breakaway to really, really piss off Norwich. |  |

So the younger generation of fans that have been starved of success for 20 plus years get the rewards of premier league football.
Hopefully the finances involved will give them plenty of good years to come as well. |  | | |

So we can compete at the highest level, giving us the chance to to qualify for European competition and a greater likelihood of competing for silverware. | | | |

All the above plus the chance to see Ipswich play at Anfield, Emirates, Old Trafford etc (not to mention the excitement of having players like De Bruyne, Son, Saka playing at Portman Road) |  | | |

I really think McKenna stays regardless. Leif Davis probably not.
Is KMC yet the finished Premiership article? He is learning along with us. I don't think the curve has started to flatten yet. Where is he going.....Brighton?
I would sooner sell Leif Davis and re invest the £15m into the playing squad. I am not sure Luton, Burnley , Sheff Utd are upgrades on Leicester, Leeds and lets say Southampton. We would have a great chance again next season. |  | | |

No-on much under the age of 60 has seen us promoted more than three times, making that four so soon after the last one is not be sniffed at. |  |

There's no reason we shouldn't be successful in the Premier League over time. You could argue we would be something like the 12th 'biggest' club in the league based on catchment, brand and heritage. (depending on who is promoted and relegated). The big issues are recruitment and obviously getting promoted in the first place.
Lots of tinpot clubs in there - Fulham, Palace, Bournemouth, Brentford, Luton Burnley. Leicester if they go up are not really bigger than us. | | | |

Your last paragraph … and to hopefully establish ourselves there like Brighton or Bournemouth or Brentford or palace. |  | | |

To keep our manager and get back into Europe, where we belong. |  | | |

I think the achievement in itself would be pretty special, given the context. Our most significant achievement for more than 20 years. |  |

The chance to see us at some big grounds again before I peg it. | | | |
