EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of England's vibrant football culture, the old and passionate rivalry between Bristol City and Bristol Rovers came alive once again at Ashton Gate Stadium on September 4, 2013, during the First Round of the Johnstone Paint Trophy, popularly known as the Bristol Derby. The air was thick with excitement as the two teams prepared to face off in this local football tournament. The tension was palpable as the final whistle blew, signaling the end of the game and the start of a chaotic scene on the pitch. Ecstatic fans, dressed in their team colors, surged forward to celebrate their team's victory. The jubilant crowd, affectionately known as "Gasheads" for Bristol Rovers and "Robins" for Bristol City, invaded the field, their voices echoing through the stadium. However, their euphoria was abruptly halted as the police, in an attempt to maintain order, charged onto the pitch on horseback. The sight of the horses, with their riders dressed in riot gear, was a stark contrast to the joyous scene that had just unfolded. The fans, caught off guard, were quickly ushered back to the stands, their moment of triumph momentarily overshadowed by the presence of the authorities. Despite the interruption, the memory of this intense and emotional derby day remains etched in the hearts of the fans, a testament to the enduring passion and rivalry between these two historic English football clubs. The 2013-14 season of the first team for both clubs would continue to unfold, with many more twists and turns, but this particular day at Ashton Gate Stadium would forever be remembered as a day of unforgettable moments in the rich history of the Bristol Derby.
