despite the winning and the investment, nobody comes to the games.. Attendance can lag results by years ....All there is to do is keep plugging away and hope winning and attendant improvements to the program somehow revive the corpse.

Can anyone dig up Terry2's excellent analysis of attendance, and more specifically the lack of fans even when we were winning?

If I recall correctly his conclusion was that you need two back-to-back winning seasons before attendance starts to rise.  You need to give your fans an expectation of winning.
