EDITORS COMMENTS
In this electrifying image captured by Joe Meredith/JMP on September 4, 2013, at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol, the raw passion and intensity of a local derby between Bristol City and Bristol Rovers comes to a sudden halt. The Johnstone Paint Trophy First Round match, also known as the Bristol Derby, had reached its climax as the home team, the Robins, secured their victory against their arch-rivals, the Pirates. The jubilant fans, dressed in their respective colors, surged onto the pitch to celebrate their team's triumph. The sea of elated supporters, affectionately called "Gasheads" for Bristol City, danced, sang, and reveled in their hard-earned victory. However, their euphoria was disrupted as the police, in an attempt to maintain order, charged onto the field with their horses. The horses, powerful and imposing, created a stark contrast to the joyous scene that unfolded moments before. The sight of the horses, with their riders in riot gear, brought an air of tension and unease to the otherwise celebratory atmosphere. The fans, initially taken aback, retreated to the safety of the stands, leaving the pitch to be cleared by the authorities. This image encapsulates the raw emotions of a football derby, the unbridled joy of victory, and the sometimes necessary intervention of law enforcement to maintain order. It is a poignant reminder of the contrasting feelings that can coexist within the beautiful game.
