of Weymouth F.C. and the 4–2 victory over champions elect Dagenham & Redbridge, led to an atmosphere of positivity around the club. The U's ensured conference safety by winning five of their last seven conference games. A 1–0 away win at Aldershot on the penultimate Saturday of the 2006–07 season was followed up with another 1–0 win at home on the final day against Tamworth, ensuring the U's status for the 2007–08 season. A strong start to 2007–08 saw Cambridge United establish themselves as one of the favourites for the Conference National title and promotion back to football league. Unfortunately Cambridge United missed out on the title to Aldershot Town who won the league and the sole automatic promotion place. Despite making it to the Conference play-off final, the U's were beaten 1–0 by Exeter City who subsequently took the second promotion place. The following season, United again finished runners-up, this time to Burton Albion and by only two points. Once again they made it to the play-off final, only to be beaten for the second year in succession – Torquay United running out 2–0 winners. This came on the back of positive news off the field as a 26 March EGM allowed fresh investment in the club from current board members and American businessman Adrian Hanauer. Four seasons of mid table mediocrity followed, before Cambridge United re-emerged as promotion contenders in the 2013–14 season, their second season under the management of Richard Money. They finished second in the Conference National and triumphed 2–1 over Gateshead in the playoff final to end their nine-year exile from the Football League. Money stayed for one more season at the Abbey Stadium, seeing Cambridge United take Manchester United to a replay in the third round of the FA Cup, before being succeeded as manager by Shaun Derry.
