News Stadium: The NEW Home of Football in WA

[Kram]

Well 5'9 is pretty short.

It's a bit below average for a bloke but hardly 'short'.

The only time I ever sat on the fence I could only just see over the bloody thing and I'm 5ft 9..

I don't have a problem. Neither does my wife, and she's 4' 11 1/2". Were you sitting, or kneeling on the ground?

I was fine but you just wouldn't want to be too much shorter.. This was on the city side outer flank, it's probably totally different to your part of the ground.

Now that you mention it, I was on the other side of the ground for the Sydney final, and I could see how the fence over there would be a problem if you were front row. Hopefully it won't be an issue at the new stadium.

It appears that we can be thankful to Troy Buswell for something...

WA Treasurer Mike Nahan says he does not agree with the decision to spend $1 billion building a new sports stadium at Burswood.

Interesting to see if he can conjure a "budget emergency" to get his wish.

Sorry Mike, one way tickets to Los Angeles are cheap.

5'9" is actually the average height for Australian males.

Too short to be a midfielder though.

Not for much longer I'm afraid, I'm about that and I see 13-14 year olds these days who tower over me

That average was actually from 11/12. I've since found 12/13 and it's now 5'10".

That's me then. They better up the rate of boat people coming in so I don't end up below average in a few years.

I honestly don't think I can take on anymore white mates, the only one of my mates smaller than me is a bloody Filipino and the rest are 6'2+ comfortably. There's no point being average height if you still end up looking like a midget.

As long as I'm still taller than most girls I'm happy. Would feel a bit weird having a partner who was taller than you.

True, I'm probably moving to Japan some time in the next few years so should be a nice little ego boost too. In all honesty being short isn't really so bad, it does suck though when you stop growing at the age of 15.

s**t we're so off topic now....

Yeah it's good when it comes to leg room in places like aeroplanes and shitty third world stadiums.

There we go, back on topic.

Seamlessly done mate.

A warm fuzzy feeling for helping Victorians in need? I had such a feeling once. Turned out to be gastro.

Had a chuckle when I saw this earlier today. They must have some pretty low standards.

That's a real holy * kind of article.

On topic, my mate who works in the construction industry is wondering what the hold up is since the site was effectively handed over weeks ago. Any updates?
