Improved catering - still more work to do on concourse bars.

Stand sponsorships.
Moves towards creating a new training facility to replace Colliers / 9 Acre.
Kop redevelopment.
I'm sure there's a lot more but I've listed those that immediately come to mind.
How much of the ground improvements were paid for by the club? Not as much as you suggest as a lot of that funding came from donations from the WSA, who collected that money from the fans via fundraising.
