One of the most eagerly anticipated and the biggest single attended sporting event of the year. It's the weekend we all go absolutely bonkers for rowing. :love:

This year's edition could be one of the best every. Anyone else going along?? Atmosphere along the Thames will be absolutely electric. I've had Cambridge -1.5 lengths in the men's and Cambridge straight win in the ladies.

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
And then I saw her boat
Now I'm a believer
And not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Not good is it Tom but it just couldn't be anywhere else. I remember the COVID year when they did it on the Ouse in Cambridgeshire (hardly fair on Oxford) and it was nothing without thr hundreds of thousands lining the Thames roaring the teams on abd the famous landmarks on the route.

People talk about violence at football, but has anyone seen the award-winning documentary "Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men - The Boat Race"

In "Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men - The Boat Race," we dive into the cutthroat world of rowing, where muscles are flexed and egos collide. But forget about the traditional rowers; meet Tarquin, the unexpected underdog from Eton. With his monocle firmly in place and a posh accent that could charm the Queen herself, Tarquin takes on the rowing world with a vengeance.

But it's not just about winning the race for Tarquin; it's about proving that the elite can be just as deadly as the toughest of brawlers. Armed with cucumber sandwiches and a fierce determination, Tarquin navigates the treacherous waters of rivalry and class warfare, all while trying to avoid spilling his Earl Grey.

With Danny Dyer's unique commentary adding a touch of gritty charm, "The Boat Race" becomes more than just a sporting event—it's a clash of cultures where the posh and the gritty collide in a comedic crescendo of oars and uppercuts.
