Manchester City attendance: Poor atmospheres are the price of success, says talkSPORT pundit Danny Higginbotham
The poor atmosphere and hordes of empty seats at Manchester Citys Etihad Stadium is the price of success, according to talkSPORT pundit Danny Higginbotham.Pep Guardiolas men beat Wolves 3-0 on Monday to keep the pressure on Liverpool, as they hunt for their second straight Premier League title.Gabriel Jesus scored twice in a routine win for Man City over Wolves2

But despite their incredible recent success under the Spanish boss, the club are struggling to fill out their 55,000 capacity ground.Rival fans have taken to calling Man Citys stadium The Emptihad with television cameras sometimes highlighting the lack of packed stands at home games, and an apparent lack of noise from supporters.City drew their lowest attendance of the season last week when they battered Burton Albion 9-0 in their Carabao Cup semi-final tie, with just 32,089 supporters watching on.The club broke Premier League records last season as they cantered to the title, yet reports claimed they averaged nearly 10,000 empty seats PER GAME at the Etihad.And Higginbotham believes, just like Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, Man City supporters have become ‘too used to winning.’It definitely was quiet yesterday, said the ex-United defender, who covered the Wolves game for talkSPORT.But I think what youre finding at Manchester City, and this happened a lot at Manchester United when they were having great success as well, is that supporters go there and expect to be entertained.Guardiola hinted at his own frustrations over the lack of atmosphere at the Etihad back in October2

When you watch Manchester City you know whats coming. Theres an expectancy now at the club and that obviously goes towards the atmosphere.The fans get entertained every single week, whether thats in the cup where theyre scoring seven and nine goals and even in the Premier League theyre scoring sixes.Thats the price of success sometimes, particularly when youre playing at home, because you get so used to winning.
