In this evocative photograph taken by Joe Meredith on December 26, 2012, we see Watford striker Matej Vydra taking a slide on the flooded pitch during the Championship match between Bristol City and Watford at Ashton Gate Stadium. The image captures the moment of disappointment and frustration as the referee, Michael Naylor, calls off the game due to the heavy rain and waterlogged conditions. The derby match between the two teams had promised to be an exciting one, with both sides vying for the three points in the Championship league standings. However, the inclement weather had other plans, leaving the pitch unplayable and forcing the postponement of the game. As the rain continued to pour down, the players and fans were left to watch from the sidelines as the water pooled on the pitch, making it impossible to play. In the foreground, Vydra can be seen taking a slide on the water, his expression reflecting the disappointment of the situation. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the mood of the moment, with the rain-soaked pitch and the desolate atmosphere adding to the sense of anticipation and frustration. The old image, taken during the 2012-13 season, is a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football and the challenges that come with playing in adverse weather conditions. Despite the postponement, the memory of the moment and the determination to play on in the face of adversity remain etched in the minds of fans and players alike.
