1991–92 Ipswich Town F.C. Season
The 1991–92 season for Ipswich Town saw the team compete in the final season of the former Second Division, before it was renamed the First Division the following season. 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.

However, an eight-match winless run left Ipswich's promotion hopes fading by the middle of November.

Ipswich Town F
Ipswich () is a port town and borough in Suffolk, England, of which it is the county town. The town is located in East Anglia about away from the mouth of the River Orwell and the North Sea. Ipswich is both on the Great Eastern Main Line railway and the A12 road; it is north-east of London, east-southeast of Cambridge and south of Norwich. Ipswich is surrounded by two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB): Suffolk Coast and Heaths and Dedham Vale. Ipswich's modern name is derived from the medieval name ''Gippeswic'', probably taken either from an Anglo-Saxon personal name or from an earlier name given to the Orwell Estuary (although possibly unrelated to the name of the River Gipping). It has also been known as ''Gyppewicus'' and ''Yppswyche''. The town has been continuously occupied since the Saxon period, and is contested to be one of the oldest towns in the United Kingdom.Hills, Catherine"England's Oldest Town" Retrieved 2 August 2015.
