I think it's a cult hatred of Hatfield. Throw a brick at me and I'll make you eat it though :smile:

Throw bricks at yourself in an ironic statement about the idiocy of college rivalry.

Hmmm, I always thought castle would kind of be monarchial and overpower most other colleges, aside from the still-strong Collingwood and Trevs who continue to fight on as their lesser allies diminish and fade!

Then again to me, most things have to be epic and disproportionaly dramatic.

Basically, the rivalries ARE actually aimed against Castle and Hatfield. I know people from both colleges who are not rahs and are cool people (Becca not included :p: )....but it's just the rivalry that everyone hates them.

So much so, that if you're watching a competition, say some football matches one afternoon, and your college gets knocked out by another college (lets say Trevs is knocked out by Aidans) and then Aidans play Hatfield in the final, all the people supporting Trevs will DEFINITELY support Aidans haha...even if they had just knocked us out! :biggrin:

There's also the basic "Hill VS Bailey" argument/rivalry. It's fun to meet someone who's from a bailey college and go "Ooohh, from the Bailey...weird ones you lot are" hehe, but they do it back to us! :rolleyes:

The opposite of college rivalries, of course, are college friends! Cuths and Marys are good friends (since Marys was an all girls college, Cuths would have their freshers ball with Marys so it's not a load of girls having their own ball!...I don't know whether this will continue now!)

Not sure about other "friends" - maybe Chads and Johns since they're so small? Who knows! :biggrin:

Not picking on your point or anything, but as an aside, I'd always support the team that knocked me out anyway, because then you'd have lost to the champions.

And am I right in presuming everyone has a passive yeah whatever attitude to Hild Bede? I'm gonna have to be the reason everyone else starts a real rivalry against us.

Ha. Also, us and Castle supposedly dislike less colleges than everyone else, thus making us two the nicest colleges as well!
