That area of the North Terrace by the pylon was out of bounds for many years. Ditto the wrap around bit of the Shed bouldering the West Stand, and the Shed bottom bit going towards the East Stand.
Suppose it was a basic equation of repair costs versus capacity needs. How often would we sell out back then?
Pretty much never other than games against Liverpool and Spurs every blue moon

Edit: Think it did have a knock on effect. Stamford Bridge looks like a slum- corrugated iron everywhere and fenced off areas leads to an impression of a club in steep decline. Leads to lack of new supporters etc.
That spiral of doom only changed post 84 promotion
 
Pretty sure that picture was taken after Mark Hughes scored that brilliant goal in the 3-1 victory over Vicenza in 1998. Some goal, some win!
