EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Joe Meredith on September 4, 2013, the unyielding spirit of football fans is on full display as they invade the pitch at Ashton Gate to celebrate a hard-fought victory in the first round of the Johnstone Paint Trophy, also known as the Bristol Derby. The opposing teams, Bristol City and Bristol Rovers, had given their all on the field, with the Robins emerging as the victors in this local derby. The jubilant fans, donning their team colors and waving banners, surge forward to join their heroes in the center of the action. But their celebration is met with an unexpected obstacle: a line of police horses, sent in to maintain order and halt the invasion. The contrast between the elated fans and the stern-faced officers creates a striking image that encapsulates the raw emotions and intensity of a football derby. Despite the intervention, the fans' unwavering enthusiasm remains palpable. Their passion for their team and the thrill of victory are evident in their faces, as they continue to cheer and sing, undeterred by the presence of the police. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of football fans and their deep connection to their teams, even in the face of adversity. As the sun sets on Ashton Gate, the old stadium that has played host to countless memorable moments in the history of Bristol City Football Club, the fans' unwavering spirit shines through, reminding us of the power of football to bring communities together and ignite the passions of generations.
