Suparništvo među kvartovima postoji vjerojatno od kad i kvartovi. Trešnjevka protiv Trnja, Siget protiv Trnskog, Bukovac protiv Dubrave, Špansko protiv Malešnice... Krajem osamdesetih i Zaprešić je jedan od zagrebačkih kvartova. Budući da je cestom i željeznicom odvojen od najbližeg susjednog kvarta Podsuseda, suparništvo se javilo između naselja u samom kvartu. Prvo je bilo važno iz koje si osnovne škole, OŠ Ljudevit Gaj na Marlesu ili OŠ Antun Augustinčić u Centru a onda i iz koje si zgrade. Između Centra i Marlesa nalazi se naselje Terminal. Dobio je ime po autobusnom terminalu. Tu je nekada bila polazišna stanica autobusne linije 172 Zaprešić - Črnomerec. Prva zgrada (tzv. smeđa) na Terminalu izgrađena je 1984. i jedina je imala atomsko sklonište u to vrijeme. 1989. se gradi "plava" zgrada. Plava i smeđa zgrada zajedno čine kvadratnu formu a u sredini je najpoznatiji park u Zaprešiću, maštovito nazvan Park. Budući da su stanari smeđe zgrade bili starosjedioci, nikako im nisu sjeli "dotepenci" koji su uselili u plavu zgradu. Nemam pojma što je točno bio okidač za sukob. Možda činjenica da je u vrijeme gradnje park pretvoren u privremeno odlagalište građevinskog materijala koji je smetao dečkima koji su tamo navikli napucavati loptu i curama koje su igrale gumi-gumi. Jedan dan je počelo naoružavanje. Pripremale su se špriherice, dimne bombe, vodene bombe, gradile se utvrde od cigle koje su služile kao rovovi i bunkeri. Dok je uokolo bilo građevinskog materijala bilo je i municije. Arsenal na otvorenom. Prva linija bojišnice bila je šetnica koja i danas dijeli park na dva dijela. 1991. nikome više nije bilo do igranja rata. Svi smo se skupa družili u atomskom skloništu.

Neighborhood rivalries have existed probably since the neighborhoods. Trešnjevka against Trnje, Siget against Trnsko, Bukovac against Dubrava, Špansko against Malešnica... At the end of the 1980s, Zaprešić was one of Zagreb's neighborhoods. Since it is separated by road and railway from the nearest neighboring 'hood of Podsused, rivalry arose between the settlements in the neighborhood itself. First, it was important which elementary school you were attending, Elementary School Ljudevit Gaj in Marles or Elementary School Antun Augustinčić in the old Center, and then also which building you were from. Between the Center and Marles ther is Terminal. It got its name from the bus terminal. This was once the departure station of bus line 172 Zaprešić - Črnomerec. The first building (so-called brown) at Terminal was built in 1984 and was the only one with a shelter in cases of nuclear threath at that time. In 1989, the "blue" building was built. The blue and brown building together form a square shape, with the most famous park in Zaprešić, imaginatively named Park. Since the brown building folks were considered natives, they dissliked the newbies who moved into the blue building. To this day, I have no idea what was the trigger for the conflict. Perhaps the fact that during construction the park was turned into a temporary storage ground for construction materials, which bothered the boys who used to play soccer there and girls who played gumi-gumi. One day the arming began. Bunkers, smoke bombs & water bombs were being prepared, brick forts were being built that served as trenches. While there were construction materials around, there was also ammunition. An open-air arsenal. The front line of the conflict was the promenade, which still divides the park into two parts. In 1991, we stopped playing war for obvious reasons. We all hung out together in the shelter during the war years that followed.
