In this photograph by Rogan Thomson/JMP, the mascots of both teams, Bobby the Robins of Bristol City and the Cardiff City Bluebirds, are seen warming up on the pitch, preparing for the highly-anticipated first team game of the 2015-16 season. The image captures the essence of the rivalry between the two teams, as the mascots mirror each other's determined expressions, their bodies poised for action.
