Hi Atomic.
I think the biggest mistake the club made was in 2008. The club spent £3m to refurbish the Halfords Lane which was renamed the West Stand. It was at this time (construction costs were lower), where we should have built a stand that mirrored the East Stand. The cost of this would have been around £10m. We could quite comfortably have afforded this and it would have taken the capacity of the stadium to around 32,000.
I don’t think any fan is asking for a 40,000 Stadium. The West Stand is outdated and small. It needs bringing in line with how most supporters view Albion in the 21st century as a relatively big team.
