How tall are they?

 Whooppeee I got my membership pack today, and you can tell it was a busy day at work as I started playing with the little cards. They tell me how tall each player is. Now something didn't quite add up, so I compared their heights on the cards with what their wiki pages said.

I'm sure you're waiting with bated breath to see the results :-)

Ifill - card say 185cm, wiki says 1.75cm

Dura - card says 182cm, wiki says 1.86cm

Siggy - card says 180cm, wiki says 187cm

Perhaps they have grown (or shrunk!) during the off-season?

Leo - both say 1.77cm - finally some consistency!

And, according to the cards 1.77cm is the most popular height, with 4 of them measuring the same (or perhaps that was just the default option)

So...anyone know the truth of the matter?

If they were measured first thing in the morning when they got up they will be taller than when measured later in the day.

Hope that helps.

I saw Ifill the other day and I'm 183cm and he was taller than me so I'd suggest he was 185

I'm going to bring a tape measure to the open day and sort this out once and for all.

more importantly what did you get with the membership pack, still waiting for my club membership pack to arive.

It came by courier, and contained: 

  • a scarf
  • picture cards of the players (which started this thread!) and Ricki, although disappointingly, we don't get to learn Ricki's height, weight or date of birth
  • a fridge magnet with fixtures
  • a sticker
  • a neck thingy (lanyard?) with plastic thingy in case you want to wear your membership card, or perhaps your address in case you get lost and need sending home
  • a 20% off Phoenix merchandise voucher.

But most importantly, a season ticket!
