How do you upload photos from an iPhone?

I went on a stadium tour yesterday and took some pictures.

Details have been revealed of a £1 billion project to build new apartments in east Manchester, funded by the owners of Manchester City Football Club.

The Abu Dhabi United Corporation has unveiled phase one of the plan, agreed with Manchester City Council, to build three towers of up to ten storeys in height at New Islington, a district of Ancoats just east of the city centre that is undergoing major renewal.

It would mean 302 new apartments being built, as well as commercial property along the banks of the Rochdale Canal, which passes through the district.

A planning decision is expected next week on the proposal, which if passed would continue the development of the Ancoats area of the city, which has seen several large apartment blocks built in recent years and is now linked to other parts of the city by the Metrolink Tram service.

For Abu Dhabi United, it is part of an ongoing investment in the east side of the city between the historic centre and the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City play. The investment arm of the Abu Dhabi royal family took over the club in 2008.

The development of New Islington is part of a wider drive by the council to build 60,000 new homes in the city to accommodate its anticipated population growth over the coming years.

Manchester was shown to have the fastest-growing population of any borough outside London in the ten years to the 2011 census, at 19 per cent. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), this trend has continued, with the population believed to have jumped from 514,000 in 2013 to 520,000 last year.

The ONS believes that the city will reach 550,000 by 2025, but city council bosses believe it could be much higher, rising to as much as 625,000.

A large part of the increase will be focused on the city centre, the local authority believes, with this area having changed from having just a few hundred residents in the early 1990s to being one of the most densely populated parts, due to the construction of thousands of apartments.

New renders on the OS.

Pure cheese! Who writes this stuff?

Legends... the greats that have played, managed and led our Club to where we are today.

Their legacy is passed down from one generation to the next in the stands and the dressing room alike. As of the new 2015/16 season, the Etihad Stadium will house a new place where our Legends will live on.

The stadium expansion will also see the renovation of the Legends Lounge as a panoramic restaurant, overlooking the pitch where new Legends are made.

Families, friends, colleagues and clients can enjoy the matchday atmosphere with great food, company and of course, great football!

The Legends restaurant package includes:

• Level 2 executive padded seating
• Chefs' buffet table dining
• Cash bar
• Matchday programme
• Car parking
• Access through the new South Stand reception
• Away seating options
• Dedicated account management

^^^it looks quite good actually. I wonder if you're allowed to stay there when the match is on and carry on drinking throughout?
 
Without dragging out an old discussion, this sort of restaurant/buffet type offering was what was described to CB Level 2ers when the move to executive seating was first mooted a few years ago. Instead, they basically moved the bar and food till to a new location for a few hundred quid more.....

No chance, FA rules state that you cannot have an alcoholic beverage and watch football at the same time, nor can someone else see you drinking and watch the football at the same time.
Like it use to be, the blinds on the windows will be lowered just before kick off.
