Anyone about to settle down to watch this?

Really hoping for a change in fortune for the Oxford women this year.

i grew up right by the river there and always used to walk to watch it, used to make me really homesick seeing my house when I was away at uni.

come on Cambridge!!

Feeling a bit lonely - there must be some more Oxford supporters on Mumsnet somewhere! Grin

Oooo. I didn't realise it was on this weekend - feels early this year?

Come on Oxford!

Changingthegame · 26/03/2023 16:09

I am. I watch every year even though I've got no affiliation to either university. I just watch because I'm in awe of what these individuals achieve even if they aren't in the winning crew

Come on Cambridge!

BronwenFrideswide · 26/03/2023 16:12

Cambridge Women look like this is theirs to lose, seem very far ahead.

PlateBilledDuckyPerson · 26/03/2023 16:12

I think Oxford need a miracle now Sad

We’ll never say never…. Crazy things can happen in a boat race!

Cambridge supporters here.

Has the selection of the Surrey Station been a big advantage for Cambridge Women? If so the Cambridge Men are going to have their work cut out.

Changingthegame · 26/03/2023 16:13

Stranger things have happened in the boat race. I think it's Cambridge's race to lose but in this weather it wont be out of the realms of possibilities

Boats have been known to sink at crucial points!

VooVooV · 26/03/2023 16:15

@BronwenFrideswide I think Surrey is typically the favoured one. Cambridge women were the favourites. I don’t know who the favourites are in the men’s race though …

BronwenFrideswide · 26/03/2023 16:18

I think Oxford are the favourites and they've got the Surrey station.

The men look really finely weighted. They are machines, tho if I were in the Oxford boat I might want to lamp the cox one afterwards but it’s just not her fault, she’s got to try and gee them up

TeenDivided · 26/03/2023 16:21

Yay!

VooVooV · 26/03/2023 16:21
