It comes down to how ambitious the owners and whether they would want to leave a legacy behind. Imagine if Albion owned all the land up till Apollo 2000(?) - not sure what it's called now, the name is alluding me. But Albion could make a little Albion tourist attraction so to speak. Few bars, restaurants etc. Maybe something kids related too.
With football stadia increasing when clubs have expanded, Albion should have the ambition to expand the stadium. That's not saying something ridiculous like 50,000. But aim should at least be 35k. We've actually decreased our capacity from our first PL season (circa 28,000) to what is now around 25-26k.
