"Should be opened up to other universities. Hull versus Wolverhampton would be a better option imo"
That's a good pound t I'd love to see the rivalry between Manchester Uni and Salford Uni for a bit of rowing! |

I take it the OP isn't watching?
Yes, it's elitist - all sport is at the top levels, but I do understand the distinction being made here. It still draws a huge crowd at all the viewing points.

"It's everything I despise, but I cheer Oxford on everytime
Although I'm happier when one of the boats sink "
Why do you dispise it ?

Maybe despise is the wrong word, posh eletism you are who you are due to your Parents or Family name. Oxbridge bollocks or maybe I'm just a typical bolshie Communist  |

"Has anybody actuallie tried it?
I know I couldn't do it. I struggle on the rowing machine after 10 strokes.
Haha "
I have managed a couple of hours on the water dragon boat racing but we took it in turns to drop out for a few strokes. Also, not racing anywhere as challenging as the twisty, tidal Thames.

Sounds great fun though, wish I wasn't so nervous of the water  |

I won a trophy as part of a coxed four about 15 years ago. Rowing in the water is very different to a rowing machine, it's all about timing, rhythm and synchronicity with your team mates. |

I used to row for my school. Started off as a cox as it got me lots of days off from school. Ended up getting the bug and actually rowed at Henley and completed the Lincoln to Boston marathon. |
