Fatal stabbing in Charlton

  • Remember when the McDonalds in Eltham first opened mid-70s. Big row between Crown Woods and the riff-raff from Eltham Green on opening day. Both set of pupils banned from the Golden Arches as a result.

    As others have said social media spread what would just a local event and make it seem worse. Street violence has been going on for yonks. Quite a few posters on here have been part of such events connected to football and/or politics.

    Doesn't make it right or mean action shouldn't be taken but it's not new.

    And the amount of people claiming to have been there is a bit like our 7-6 win over Huddersfield.

    Having gone to primary school in Abbey Wood, South London when I was a kid, there was always rumours of arranged fights between local secondary schools in the area. There seemed to be a lot more rumours when in Abbey Wood. The rumours involved Picardy a lot. Went to a RC secondary school in Bexleyheath and they tended to have a grip on these things, so didn't involve the secondary school I attended.

    Woolwich common against the 'Triads' (not sure how long Triads have come from Somalia)

    Barnefield - always sent a shiver up your spine

    Helped out a mate who was getting bullied at Tallis. About 20 or so of us turned up one Friday night down the bottom of Dearsly Road, only to be confronted across the footbridge by half of Brixton stood outside the Dover Patrol, needless to say we had it on our toes lively, I scaled to gates of Dearsly Road playing field in one jump.

    We always had love hate relationship with the 'top lot' of Charlton, can't remember ever coming to blows though and good friends with em now

    by the top lot do you mean Vicky way, Springfields and Mascalls?
    Hornfair, Charlton Village etc

    Owen Jeavons, 23, said there had been tension between students at local schools when he was a teenager but called the brawl "something new".
    "I have never seen anything like it. It's such a quiet, peaceful place", he said.


    LOL

    He must have lived a very sheltered life. My Catholic school in Maidstone was always involved in large scale punch ups and the was way back in the late 70's early 80's

    And that was just with the nuns.

    Early 70s it would be along to Westcombe park for a ruck with them or if we was feeling adventurous through the Greenwich foot tunnel.

    cleeve park vs hurstqueer

    Oi! It was Parklands in my day and Hurstmere always used to bash them.
  • Nothing to see here. School vs school.

    Happened all the time when I was at school. The DT building always got emptied and there would be running battles for what seemed hours. It's been happening for years and is pretty much part of going to secondary school.

    I remember one time the music teacher tried to stop it and ended up taking one on the chin. Poor woman got knocked clean out.
  • Eaglesfield would've kicked the shit out of everyone

    Was always the same shit

    Chelsea headhunters were coming

    Milwank were coming

    Woolwich poly were coming

    St Josephs were coming

    Crown woods were coming

    All shit it or never turned up because they were never coming

    I prefer to say they shit it from me and big rob

    Ha! I remember at our school (primary) it was the chelsea smilers who were on their way down to st mary cray to open up our 10 year old gobs with razors. Was probably one of the teachers started the rumours to get us to behave.

    What school did you go to? Mogadishu Secondary Modern?

    Fuck me, sounds more like a war zone than a school.

    there's always a way out of things depends on how hard you want to fight to get out of it. many kids have come from gang riddled estates and made a decent being of themselves. im from a single parent background working class yet i know its wrong to put a knife in somones chest.

    Absolutely.

    I'm also from a single parent working class background. 3 different dad's to me, my brother and my sister. Lost my mum at 13, Bro and sis already had moved out... I moved in with a mates family, his mum became my guardian, I smoked weed daily, dealt some drugs for a couple of weeks then realised I had 2 choices stay involved in drugs etc, stay where I was with irresponsible guardian or move to a new town and start fresh with a relative...
    And there's me thinking you was whiter than white following you're mr clean statement on the Fabric thread

    Shutdown because they couldn't stop people abusing drugs on their site.

    Seems fair but then I'm not a clubby type who needs pills, powders and herbal smokes to have a good night.

    Just to clarify I understand there are other clubby types not addicted to drugs.

    Either way I ain't one!

    I remember a boy from Hayesbrook throwing a snowball at me as I made my way out of Judd one afternoon back in '82.
    Fucking mental times.

    Thamesmead back in the day (late 80's/early 90's) had a few gangs who were bizarrely all named after fish - such as The Carp and The Rudd gangs

    Always kicking off back then.

    I must have led a quiet life. I went to Riverside Secondary on Yarnton Way and have no recollection of any gangs back then.
  • I was Eaglesfield 84-89 I can confirm the Chelsea smilers did turn up in a white van one afternoon but was chased back up red lion lane by what seemed like 100s carrying T-squares and chisels from the CDT block!

    The worst fighting I saw for about a 2 month period was in-house fighting on the football pitch whites v blacks it got so bad all footballs were banned until it all blew over!

    Oh those were the days LOL

    A few of us stupidly got involved in a snowball fight with a group of kids from the Hollies on the way to school around 82. Got one of them in the face and had the shit kicked out of me by all of them as a result.
