U's were in the top four by Christmas and their 12-match unbeaten run was halted at Swindon on Boxing Day. Parkinson's side simply embarked on another run of seven straight wins, 10 if Cup ties are included, and topped the table in January 2006. Once again United reached the LDV Southern Area Final but losing to Swansea. The FA Cup
brought more success on and off the pitch. Poor Leamington

Wins at Bournemouth

Ironically United's first ever professional match in 1937 was in the Somerset town and they nervously held onto a 0-0 draw to gain promotion to their promised land - The Coca Cola Championship - three points behind their Essex neighbours Southend. The average gate of 3,969 was paltry compared to some of the sides that they would face but Parkinson had delivered U's ultimate dream.
