EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Joe Meredith on September 4, 2013, the raw passion and excitement of the Bristol Derby between Bristol City and Bristol Rovers is palpable. The image captures the moment when jubilant fans, known as "Gasheads" for their support of Bristol Rovers, invade the pitch to celebrate their team's victory in the first round of the Johnstone Paint Trophy at Ashton Gate, the home ground of Bristol City. The euphoria of the moment is suddenly disrupted as police horses are brought in to restore order, halting the fans in their tracks. The contrast between the joyous expressions of the fans and the stern, determined gaze of the police officers on horseback creates a striking visual tension. This photograph encapsulates the intensity and emotion of a local derby, a fixture that holds significant importance for both teams and their fans. The Johnstone Paint Trophy, a competitive tournament in English football, adds an extra layer of excitement to an already heated rivalry between the two Bristol clubs. The old first team of the 13-14 season, with their distinctive colors and passion, are seen in the background, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the stadium. This image serves as a reminder of the unique energy and spirit that football brings to communities, even in the face of authority. Joe Meredith's photograph offers a glimpse into the raw emotions and unforgettable moments of the beautiful game, making it a cherished memory for fans of both teams and a testament to the enduring allure of football.
