EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the raw power and unpredictability of nature as it brings a halt to the Championship match between Bristol City and Watford at Ashton Gate Stadium on December 26, 2012. The heavy rainfall, relentless and unabated, transforms the lush green pitch into a muddy expanse, making it an impossible playing surface for the first team players. Referee Michael Naylor, standing resolutely in the downpour, surveys the scene before making the difficult decision to call off the much-anticipated derby game between the two teams. The disappointment etched on the faces of the players and fans is palpable as they watch the rain continue to fall, their hopes of a thrilling contest dashed by the elements. This old photograph from the 12-13 season serves as a poignant reminder of the uncontrollable forces of nature and the challenges they pose to even the most dedicated sports enthusiasts. The image, taken by the talented photographer Joe Meredith, is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of the moment, and the determination of the game to go on despite the odds. Despite the postponement, the spirit of competition and sportsmanship remains unbroken, as both teams and their supporters look forward to the possibility of a re-scheduled match, eager to see who will emerge victorious on the field. The rain may have won this battle, but the war for the Championship title is far from over.
