Ipswich Town fans have answered the call to give players an incredible welcome to Portman Road ahead of today's game.
Influential fans' group Blue Action had called for supporters to welcome the team bus ahead of the League One match - and fans turned up in numbers.
Blue Action described the game with the Grecians as "one of the biggest in recent years".
The group said in a social media post: "We are calling on fans to line the streets of Sir Alf Ramsey Way and Constantine Road to welcome the team coach into the ground.
"The coach is due to arrive between 1.15pm - 1.30pm, so get there in good time.
"Bring your scarves, flags and banners and give McKenna and the players a proper Suffolk reception as we bid to secure promotion back to the Championship."
Fans that arrived early at Portman Road included Sharon and Paul Miller from Great Yarmouth.
The couple said: “It’s about time we went up. I’m a mix of nervousness and excitement. We’re so happy to have McKenna.
"We’re equipped for the championship as we’ve got a manager with premier league experience. To have the fans lining up is amazing. It just gives the players that extra bit of motivataton.
Philip Dixie will be attending the game with his wife Wendy Dixie and friend Gillian Partridge.
Mr Dixie said: “I’ve been supporting them since 1984. I was at the last promotion against Barnsley and this team reminds me of that.
"There have been some rough times so to see us do well and to play in such style is amazing. McKenna is incredible.
"We hope he can take us to the premier league. Lining up like this brings the fans closer to the players and will mean a lot to both them and the manager.”
The buzz has been growing around Ipswich all morning as the clock counts down to 3pm.
Many have headed out for breakfast or a pre-match pint at pubs and bars around the town before heading to Portman Road.
Some have arrived in style as seen by this couple at Bourne Garden Centre, in Ipswich.
At The Three Wise Monkeys in Ipswich, friends Tom Garrod and Max Rushbrook were gearing up for the game.
Today's game is a milestone for Max, 22, who took up his first season ticket this year.
The Stowmarket resident: "We've been on a high since I started following them. I'm feeling nervous but we've been playing well so I'm also really excited.
"I think next season we'll be comfortable - especially if we keep our loan signings. I'm confident McKenna will stay for another year in the Championship and I think we'll have him for at least one more season."
His friend Tom, also 22, said: "I don't know what I'm going to do if we get promoted.
I've never experienced success with Town before. When I was born, we were playing in Europe.
"Then it was the Championship and then League One. This feels like a 20 year toxic relationship finally coming to an end. Plymouth have been scraping wins recently so I think we can go for the title.
"If we get one or two really good signings I think we can make the playoffs next year. We'll definitely beat Norwich."
