EDITORS COMMENTS
In the fiery heart of the South West, the ancient rivalry between Bristol City and Bristol Rovers reached a boiling point on September 4, 2013, during the first round of the Johnstone Paint Trophy at Ashton Gate. The air was thick with anticipation as the two teams, affectionately known as the Robins and the Pirates, prepared to face off in the highly competitive and locally significant derby. As the final whistle blew, signaling the end of regulation time, the stands erupted in a frenzy of excitement. Fans, known as Gasheads for their unwavering support, surged towards the pitch, their elation palpable as they sought to celebrate their team's victory in the traditional way. But their euphoria was abruptly disrupted as police horses charged onto the field, bringing the festivities to a halt. The sight of the horses, their riders clad in riot gear, was a stark reminder of the tense atmosphere that had pervaded the game. Despite the interruption, the fans remained undeterred, their spirits undimmed. The derby, a fixture in the English football calendar, had once again proven to be a thrilling and unforgettable encounter. This old rivalry, steeped in history and passion, continued to captivate the local community and beyond, as the first team of the 13-14 season embarked on their journey in the Johnstone Paint Trophy.
