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 at Ashton Gate to celebrate their team's victory in the first round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. The old stadium, home to both Bristol City (the "Robins") and Bristol Rovers (the "Pirates"), was filled with tension and anticipation as the two local rivals faced off in this highly competitive fixture. However, the fans' euphoria was suddenly halted by the arrival of police horses, who charged onto the pitch to restore order. The horses' powerful presence served as a stark reminder that even in the heat of the moment, the rules and regulations of the game must be upheld. This photograph encapsulates the raw emotions and energy of a local derby, a cup game that goes beyond just the sport itself. The image is a testament to the passion and dedication of the fans, who will stop at nothing to support their team. The old first team season 13-14 of the Bristol Derby between Bristol City and Bristol Rovers in the Johnstone Paint Trophy will be remembered as a classic moment in the history of English football.
