EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured by Joe Meredith on the frosty afternoon of December 26, 2012, at Ashton Gate Stadium, the anticipation of a thrilling Championship derby between Bristol City and Watford was brought to a standstill as the heavens unleashed a relentless barrage of snow. The once lush and vibrant football pitch was transformed into a winter wonderland, as the white blanket blanketed the ground, leaving the players and officials in a state of uncertainty. Bristol City Manager, Derek McInnes, is seen in the foreground, deep in conversation with the officials, as they pondered the feasibility of playing the much-anticipated derby match. Ground staff, dressed in their winter gear, worked tirelessly to clear the snow from the pitch, but the conditions proved to be insurmountable. Despite the best efforts of all involved, the referee, Michael Naylor, made the difficult decision to call off the game due to the treacherous conditions. The disappointment was palpable, as both sets of fans had braved the elements to witness their team's battle for supremacy in the Championship. This old photograph, taken during the 2012-13 season, serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football and the challenges that even the most dedicated fans and players must face. The snowy showdown at Ashton Gate Stadium will go down in history as a game that was postponed, but the memories of the determination and spirit shown that day will live on.
