was this not the liverpool game where the scouse fans got smashed all over both inside and mainly outside SB

Even the benches ran across the pitch to get at the Liverpool fans. That was after getting attacked from across the railway lines and from the regular North Standers. Years of frustration of cowardly attacks in Liverpool, it was payback time.

graham, all 4 sides were open but a temporary stand at the shed end, but correct me if i am wrong

no sorry your wrong unless the cranes behind the shed where in full voice lol.

The Shed End had hoardings behind the goal.

I was a regular North Stander at that time (before I graduated to Gate 13), and a great day was had by all, battered f*ck out of 'em!

the best battle in gate 13 was against west ham 83 84 season, i also remember leeds in 82 where chelsea had a massive mob

The only mob to ever go in there as far as I can remember. That was a lively day, they were everywhere, probably the most intimidating away support ever to come to Chelsea. We did OK though.

the best one against them was a night game in 79

I don't remember any aggo at that, funny isn't it. My mate got a kicking in the passage down to Parsons Green by the Eelbrook afterwards though.

 

[secbastia]

they got run, and even a face at Chelsea said to me "i am proud to be Chelsea"

Not mentioned in their hoolie books then!

 

[secbastia]

not at all , there are games like that where people forget and if you read in the hoolie books that Chelsea were feared in london in the early70s they were not, the shed was a myth

 

[secbastia]

plus as wel,l west ham will never admit to get run, i know i lived in east london and used to have to walk past upton park every day

I quite agree. It all depends where you were at the time. It's funny how we could pull off a victory like that and then go to a place like Shrewsbury (or Cambridge/Luton), turn the joint over but not completely take their side/end while a season before send the Holte End packing (and what a sight that was from the other end).

I remember Bristol City turning up to the side of the Shed in '75 and getting escorting out without a punch being thrown, the only non-London team ever to do so in my match going days and I believe they did similar in the Anglo Scottish Cup in the pre-season that year too. The Shed was a joke once the real merchants went into the North Stand and they

stood up to any Shed taking attempt was when a real mob like Millwall, Spurs (1978 only) or West Ham came in and the North Standers piled down on them as they came in the Bovril gate. Nice to see them all ending up on the pitch.

 

[secbastia]

peckham you know the score son, and i was there in 78 and that is the only time that they would have tried to take the shed, but the game was all ticket. They were all over the forecourt. Otherwise spurs have never been in there

 

[secbastia]

i must stop drinking pastis, spurs were outside in 78 but never got in thats what i meant to say, they did have a big mob at south ken station and attacked all the trains

True, I gave up on the Shed round about 1973/74, went in the North Stand after that - until the early 80's, then it was Gate 13.

I remember feeling well annoyed and even embarrassed when I went in the Shed because the old bill sergeant saw me coming and stopped me from getting in to the North Stand. Funny thing, at one time it was easier to get in to the North Stand by sneaking in through the flats than by paying at the turnstiles.
