Manchester City have a team and manager that is enviable by everyone in world football but supporters that are laughably below the level of a top club.
Their match against Brentford at the Etihad Stadium kicked off at 7:30pm and this earlier than usual evening kick-off compiled with bad weather and busy traffic seems to have been reasons used by fans for a low attendance.

However, footage of the empty seats in Manchester far outweigh any reason that a team who is chasing a Premier League title can offer.
Their fanbase isn’t big enough for the stadium or their team, something they continually now struggle to cover up.
