2003–04 season while playing in the
Football Conference following the collapse of the Miras Contracts business of chairman and sole shareholder Andy Shaw. The club went into
administration, and although supporters raised around £50,000 in two months, the club's debts totalled over £4 million, resulting in liquidation on 27 May 2004. On the same day, Telford United Supporters Limited announced that a new club would be formed,
Bernard McNally was appointed as manager and a new squad assembled. The new club's
first season saw them finish third in Division One, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. After beating

following season saw them finish tenth. During the season, McNally was replaced as manager by Rob Smith. In

Burscough on the final day; the attendance of 5,710 being a new club record. However, they qualified for the promotion play-offs, and after a 2–0 win over
Marine in the semi-final, they defeated
Witton Albion 3–1 to earn promotion to the
Conference North. Telford finished second in the Conference North in
2007–08, again qualifying for the playoffs, in which they lost 4–0 on aggregate to

Nuneaton Town 3–2 on aggregate in the semi-final, before beating
Guiseley 3–2 in the final with an injury-time winner by Phil Trainer, earning promotion to the
Conference Premier. They also reached the first round of the

Macclesfield Town. John Psaras took over for the remainder of the season, which saw them finish bottom of the division and be relegated to the Conference North. In
2013–14 Telford won the Conference North, earning an immediate return to the Conference Premier. However, the following season Watson was sacked in December with the club bottom of the division and replaced by Steve Kittrick. They finished 23rd, resulting in relegation back to the North division. However, the season also saw them reach the second round of the FA Cup for the first time; after beating
