Manchester City hammered on Twitter for empty seats at Etihad for Bristol City clash
All the oil money in Abu Dhabi could not buy Pep Guardiola's side a full house on Wednesday night
THERE were thousands of empty seats at the Etihad on Tuesday night as Manchester City took on Bristol City in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
Swathes of empty seats cast a backdrop to the first leg showdown on a cold night in Manchester.
Bristol City, by contrast, took around 8,000 fans to the Etihad and provided most of the atmosphere.
The Championship side stunned Man United in the previous round to set up a trip the best team in the land.
And their fans were keen to make the most of the opportunity to visit Pep Guardiola's runaway Premier League leaders.
But the magic of the occasion and a potential trip to Wembley was lost on City fans with many of them staying away for the cup semi-final.
