Plymouth Argyle and Yeovil Town go into their first ever league meeting on New Year's Day at Home Park needing the three points at stake for very dfifferent reasons.
The Pilgrims currently find themselves in the middle of well documented financial troubles that have recently forced them to sell star wide man Craig Noone to League One leaders Brighton and Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee.
Other players including leading scorer Bradley Wright-Phillips are expected to leave Home Park during the January transfer window.
Argyle have recently welcomed Peter Ridsdale, the former Leeds United and Cardiff City Chairman, to Home Park who will be working as an adviser to the board on an unpaid basis to help resolve their financial difficulties ahead of a second appearance in the High Court to face a winding up petition on February 9th 2011.
Meanwhile Yeovil come into the game searching for their first win since October as they look to climb off the bottom of the League One table and battle their way to safety.
Manager Terry Skiverton captained the Glovers when they last faced the Pilgrims in the Carling Cup first round in the 2004-05 season.
That encounter was notable for a sporting gesture made by the then Glovers boss Gary Johnson after he allowed Argyle striker Steve Crawford to score an equaliser after Lee Johnson opened the scoring for Yeovil whilst attempting to play the ball back to Pilgrims keeper Luke McCormick following an injury to the Pilgrims' then skipper Graham Coughlan.
If Yeovil can return to Somerset following the similar score line, no one will be more delighted than Skivo, who is desperate to revive the Glovers fortunes.
