EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken by acclaimed sports photographer Joe Meredith on the 7th of August, 2012, at Ashton Gate Stadium, we find Derek McInnes, the then manager of Bristol City, leading his team against Championship rivals Crystal Palace. The old, weathered stands of the stadium loom in the background, a testament to the rich history of football in the city. The first team, dressed in their distinctive blue and white shirts, huddle together, focused and determined, as they prepare to face the challenge posed by their opponents. McInnes, with his intense gaze and clenched fist, cuts an authoritative figure as he addresses his players. The Scot, who had taken the helm at Ashton Gate the previous year, had already proven himself to be a shrewd tactician and a passionate leader. With a successful career in Scottish football behind him, he was eager to make his mark in the English Championship. The season of 2012-13 was a pivotal one for both teams. Crystal Palace, under the management of Ian Holloway, were tipped as promotion contenders, while Bristol City, despite a solid start, were struggling to find consistency. The tension in the air was palpable as the two sides prepared to do battle on the pitch. This photograph captures the essence of the Championship, with its raw emotion, unyielding passion, and the relentless pursuit of victory. As McInnes and his players take to the field, the weight of expectation rests heavily upon their shoulders. The outcome of this match could well determine the course of their season. The stage is set for an enthralling encounter, and the anticipation is electric.
