Rival schools

[The Fighting Cock]

Beale81 stands up and talks about the rivalry between Tottenham and Woolwich. Is it life and death, blood and glory, or is it simply a massive waste of time? Could we save a lot of time and energy by focusing our attention elsewhere?

To each his own, I suppose, but I enjoy hating Woolwich.

Was obviously too much to ask that this be about the band Rival Schools

Stopped reading at "I have never understood the North London Rivalry"..

Does the author genuinely look forward to games against Burnley as much as against the scum or the chavs?

Thought it must of been written by a bird until I saw the name Adam.

Holy shit, didn't even see that someone else had brought this up. Didn't think anyone else on this board would even know about the band.

Never saw Rival Schools, but I saw Quicksand. Had a chance to go to the first Gorilla Biscuits reunion, but blew it.

Oi, I resent that, no-one can hate Woolwich as much as me! I sort of get what he's saying as I hate the fact that my day/week/year can be ruined by them winning a game/finishing above us/beating us/landing a trophy, etc, etc. But its all part of being a Spurs supporter - I can't imagine not hating them, its in our DNA!

 

[Benjamin]

Seriously, every time I see this subject line I think of the band. This is really throwing me off.

Word. I used to own a now defunct record store about 10 years ago and all we sold was punk/hardcore/metal (and all of the crazy sub genres that are encompassed). Awful business model when I look back on it, but it was fun.

Also, my dog is named Bronson. Because I used to love Charles Bronson the band back in the day.

Ahhhh the punk rock record store...usually just a flash in a pan. But a beautiful one. I'm generally resigned to digging through 100 boxes of Pablo Cruz albums to find a single gem.

So this entire thread has got me on a nice little trail of nostalgia. And I'm trying to find videos of shows that I went to back in the day.

Here's the Bridge 9 Triple Record Release Show:
At around a minute thirty I'm in there stage diving. I was wearing a Reach the Sky shirt (the one with the Bruins logo replaced with an R in the back).


I wish I could find a video of the 9/11 DS-13/Dropdead show. Yes, THAT 9/11.
