I think they're kind of pathetic to be honest. I'm all up for college rivalry, but I've never seen the point in hating on Hatfield for no discernable reason.
Why's Hatfield so different? I stayed there for an open day and it seemed pretty normal..?
Some would say it's due to the numbers of Rahs there, but it's no worse than a number of others.
Probably because it was the second college, so had an immediate rivalry with castle and this has just continued over the past 170 years, with the rest of the colleges ganging up on it too
The famous Hatfield College went to Rome to see the Pope, The famous Hatfield College went to Rome to see the Pope, The famous Hatfield College went to Rome to see the Pope, And this is what he said – ‘ OFF!’
Who the are Hatfield College? Who the are Hatfield College? Who the are Hatfield College? And this is what he said – ‘ OFF!’
There are songs about every large/popular college tbf... Hild and Bede are "santas" , Hild and Bede are "santas", rah rah rah rah HEY rah rah rah rah HEY (to the conga tune) But the mighty Hatfield college went to Rome to see the Pope is the main one... And: If I had the wings of a swallow If I had the arse of a crow I'd fly over Hatfield college And on the buggers below on on on the buggers below below on on oh on the buggers below!
Also they always shout HAAAATFIELD HAAAATFIELD so people shout back something similar sounding with the first letter being replaced with TW...
And: "When I was just a little boy I asked my mother what will I be? Will I be HildBede, will I be Trevs? Here's what she said to me: Go to Castle son. Cause Hatfield are scum They all take it up the bum So it's castle for me..."
I have to say the only time I sing them is at rugby matches and when I'm veeery drunk passing Hatfield on the way back from places...
There's one some of the Hill colleges sing... Build a Bonfire or something like that... Basically saying burn Hatfield and Castle haha.
I heard someone got drunk and threw ice cream all over the library or some other bat[santas]
The library was closed for while after some managed to damage the carpet and two 16th century paintings. The bar was closed after the staff allegedly served some drunk people, possibly connected to one of the stupid rugby drinking societies.
