EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured by Joe Meredith on the chilly winter afternoon of December 26, 2012, at Ashton Gate Stadium, the Championship clash between Bristol City and Watford came to an unexpected halt. The scene depicted here encapsulates the raw emotions and unpredictability of professional soccer. The photograph portrays Watford's star striker, Matej Vydra, in a moment of frustration and determination. With the Championship derby match suspended due to heavy rainfall that had flooded the pitch, Vydra could not contain his disappointment as he slid on the watery surface, attempting to regain some semblance of control over the situation. The referee, Michael Naylor, stands in the background, signaling the postponement of the game, adding to the sense of disappointment and uncertainty. The old Ashton Gate Stadium, bathed in a gloomy, overcast sky, is a fitting backdrop for this scene. The first team's season 12-13 encounter between the two rivals was not to be played that day, leaving both teams and their fans in a state of anticipation, eagerly waiting for a rearranged date to face off against each other on the pitch. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictability and challenges that come with professional soccer. Despite the setbacks and disappointments, the passion and determination of the players, like Matej Vydra, continue to captivate fans and inspire them to keep supporting their teams through thick and thin.
