You'd think that getting away games through the club are some kind of impossibility. The facts would say otherwise, especially over the past 2-3 seasons. Granted, it's tough to get going (especially currently), but there are multiple factors that play a part in getting tickets - team success, cost, fixture order and days, and teams present in the league. It's seems somewhat cyclical in that there is a need for lower teams in the league that have larger stadiums (and aren't particularly "glamorous") need to be there...at least to get people off to a start of getting 3 or 4 credits. Off this baseline, you then need to scrap like hell to push up to 5, 6, or 7 credits. This might take 2-3 seasons...again if the aforementioned factors are there. Once you get to 7 or around that number, another big effort to get to 10, and you'll have broken though IMO - though these numbers will obviously change depending on the circumstances.
The way things are...getting from 0-3 is a tall order, perhaps impossible. But over the next couple of seasons, things will change - no doubt. They may get even harder if we re-enter the top four. They may get easier if we go nowhere or backwards.
Time will tell, but whatever happens, just be ready to take action when opportunity comes.
