Fans gathered in their masses at Christchurch Park on Monday to celebrate Ipswich Town's promotion to the Championship.
Nearly 10,000 people were in attendance as players, coaches and directors took to the stage in order to commemorate a special season with their supporters.
"I'm elated," said Andrew Wark - son of Blues icon John.
"We've been waiting 23 years for something to shout about.
"Every aspect of the club seems to be going in the right direction and this will give the town a big injection.
"If we can keep hold of key players and continue to build then I can see a double promotion on the horizon.
"And yeah, we'll definitely smash Norwich."
The non-ticketed party in Christchurch Park was a joint initiative from both the football club and Ipswich Borough Council.
It came after Town secured promotion to the Championship in style on April 29 with a 6-0 win over Exeter City.
Kieran McKenna's side finished the season in second with an incredible 98 points and goal difference of plus 66.
"Performances this season have been unbelievable," said Phil Ashenden - who was in attendance with his family.
"It's a really exciting time.
"If we keep the bulk of our squad and add a few more players and I think we'll be challengers next season."
"This is massive," said Julie Hancock and Lloyd Simpson.
"It feels like we've got our club back after a rough few years.
"I think we can go all the way with McKenna and reach the Premier League next season."
Promotion to the Premier League is a goal Kieran McKenna has made no secret of.
Speaking after his side's win against Exeter, he said: "Look, the club is very ambitious. I’m very ambitious. I’m sure the players are very ambitious.
"This is a club with a fine heritage at the top of English football. It’s a clear goal to get it back there. You never know how long it’s going to take, but there’s no doubt we want to climb back up that pyramid."
Lifelong Blues fan Chris Mallett was at the Christchurch Park celebrations with his son Alfie.
"I can't put it into words," he said.
"It's brilliant for the club and for the town as well.
"I think we can now push on for the Premier League and get back to where we should be."
"We've got incredible support and history," said Paul Thorndyke, who stood with his daughter Lily on his shoulders.
"I'm a lifelong Town fan so it's great for my kids to see us getting back to where we were when I was young.
"With the right backing, we can get into the playoffs next season.
"I think McKenna will stay because it's a long term project and we have the potential to be a really big club."
As he took to the stage, the club's managing director Mark Ashton was welcomed with a jubilant roar from the crowd.
During a speech which saw him thank both the players and the management team for an incredible season, Ashton also made a point of showing his gratitude for a "special" fanbase.
His words came after supporters gathered outside Portman Road to the give the team an unbelievable welcome prior to the club's routing of Exeter City.
"That's a moment that really stands out for us," said Thomas, Freya, Carol and Alan Noble.
"I think the players on the bus really appreciated that.
"McKenna will stay and build on this long-term project.
"Next season we'll do the double over Norwich and I think we could go up to the Premier League as champions."
