After their defeat at the hands of Boreham Wood, Torquay United now find themselves in the National League relegation zone for the first time this season.
Their 2-1 defeat against Boreham Wood, which was attended by fans from Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City, came just days after their 7-3 loss against Bromley - the Gulls worst defeat since their 8-1 hammering versus Scunthorpe United in October 1995 - and the departure of Director of Football Dean Edwards.
The idea of fans from United's rivals coming together to show solidarity with their off-field troubles is a spin-off of a similar concept inspired by Brighton and Hove Albion fans who turned up at Home Park to support the Pilgrims during the 2011-12 season.
Their first meeting was staged in September 2011, when Argyle faced Macclesfield Town in what was Carl Fletcher's first game in charge as caretaker manager, following the dismissal of Peter Reid.
It was a day that helped to lift the gloom at Home Park, as the Pilgrims recorded their first win of the season with a 2-0 victory.
At the time, the Pilgrims were marooned at the bottom of League Two with one point from their opening ten league games and were still in Administration. Like the Gulls' recent financial troubles, it was symptomatic of a situation that threatened the very existence of the club.
Strong parallels can also be drawn with Argyle's experiences in the 2011-12 season to the Gulls' position in the current campaign.
Both seasons were ones where several years of decline and mis-management came to a head with potentially serious consequences.
And supporters of the Gulls were amongst the many fans of other clubs who also stood shoulder to shoulder with the 'Green Army.'
A second 'Fans Reunited' day was also staged at the Pilgrims' next home game against Accrington Stanley, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Fortunately, they were able to pull through - following James Brent's takeover - and are now aiming to move back up through the leagues under the guidance of new manager Derek Adams.
Hopefully, given time, the Gulls will recover in a similar manner.
