Where will you be on Boat Race day? | |
Last year I watched the Boat Race on television, which had the advantage of me being able to see the whole race (although sadly not the Goldie/Isis race), but the disadvantage of missing out on the brilliant atmosphere on the bank. This year, ITV have the television rights, so I'll probably head down to London. What will everyone else be doing?
On Boat Race day, I will be... On the bank at Hammersmith watching the action live | | 32% | | In a pub along the course | | 9% | | Watching on the big screens | | 15% | | In the launch | | 0% | | Listening on the radio | | 6% | | Watching on television | | 56% | | Supporting Cambridge | | 94% | | Supporting Oxford | | 0% | | Wearing an item of Cambridge Blue clothing | | 29% | | Drunk | | 26% | | Revising :( | | 15% | | Not watching the boat race, I have better things to do with my time | | 0% | Total: 34 members' votes (7 comments...) |
