EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the South West, the passion and intensity of the local derby between Bristol City and Bristol Rovers came to a dramatic halt on September 4, 2013, at Ashton Gate Stadium. In the first round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, also known as the "Bristol Derby" or "Robins vs. Pirates," the old rivalry between the two Bristol-based football clubs boiled over as fans from both sides invaded the pitch to celebrate their team's victory. The scene was chaotic, with jubilant supporters from Bristol City, also known as the "Robins," and Bristol Rovers, or "Gasheads," intermingling on the field. However, the celebrations were short-lived as police horses were called in to restore order. The horses, with their riders in riot gear, charged through the sea of fans, bringing the chaos to a halt. The image of the horses charging through the crowd is a stark reminder of the intensity and passion that comes with local derbies in English football. This was an old first team fixture in the 13-14 season, and the Johnstone's Paint Trophy marked the beginning of the competitive season for both teams. The atmosphere at Ashton Gate that day was electric, with fans from both sides eager to make their presence known in the first round of the tournament. The scene at the stadium that day was a testament to the enduring rivalry between these two local teams and the passion that comes with supporting them.
