Other clubs fans can show up with 3 or 4 competitions.
Well as I'm sure you know, City's fanbase isn't a large one.. It's still very localized and unlike United or Arseanal or other huge clubs, a family from another European country likely isn't going to take a trip over the weekend to go to the Etihad.
The stadium was added onto in anticipation of the direction the club is going in, which is obviously to become a worldwide brand, which is happening, but it won't happen over night.
We'll sell out a number of matches, but for anyone to expect the club attendance, and I'm speaking of Pep, to be like the Allianz or Camp Nou is ridiculous. The club is nowhere near as large world wide as those mentioned.
It also doesn't help at all that those quotes were taken somewhat out of context after watching the full post match interview.

You do realize a vast majority of United and Arsenal match going fans are local. The whole tourist thing isn't as big as people make it out to be.

Makes no sense to build when there is not the demand. It was used as a FFP loop hole for "potential revenue". City owners are not dumb
