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 The West Stand is outdated and small.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.

Agreed. 32,000 and no-one would complain.

We could probably keep steward costs down by closing one section of the “new stand” and keeping the 25-000 or so fans together like other clubs who’ve expanded needlessly do too... 

Well except for play off finals obviously.

Which clubs have expanded "needlessly"?

Coventry.
