I think it might be. Found this picture of the Forest badge, Very different from their current one.

Have to laugh at these crowds! I was in the middle of the shed and it was packed, the west stand and benches look the same.

That's what I thought !

Then on the Saturday following the Bruges game we beat Leeds 3-1 at the Bridge.

A young Ossie and a packed Shed doesn't get better Chelsea wise for me. Presumably this was before the Emlyn Hughes leg break ?

Think this game might be the home game on Easter Monday 1966

This was on 11th April 1966 with a 3pm kick off.

Officially 39,380 saw it. The Shed certainly looks packed...

1-0 us, with Bobby Tambling scoring.

The previous season, 1964/65 we played Forest at home on Mon 22nd Feb 1965 at a 19:30pm kick off.

So that is ruled out. Along with fact that Peter Osgood never played in this game !

The Cup Winners Cup was probably filled with alcohol a few times, knowing this squad.

There's quite a contrast between the sparsely seated benches and the packed terracing.

Packed terraces at The Bridge,

Plus a few finding a seated viewing spot.

Think this might be the 82,905 game v Arsenal on 12th Oct 1935.

That might have been originally posted with the picture.

With The Sponge at the front of the queue, as per usual.

West stand seats, you always knew it was a big game and  atmosphere if the seats above the benches were all up on 10 men went to mo, best I saw seats was 89/90 season when we beat Millwall  four nil, it seemed the whole west stand was up for it with a huge rendition of "Millwall, Millwall run, Millwall, Millwall run, Millwall Millwall run, Millwall run from Chelsea" brings a tear to my eye thinking what our support once was!!

Bobby Tambling was at Stamford Bridge yesterday for the unveiling of his new plaque as our former striker joined a host of other Chelsea greats to be celebrated on the Shed Wall.  

Earlier this week Tambling won a poll of Chelsea supporters to choose a former player to be added to the wall. You can read an extensive interview with our former star scorer, including his memories of the Shed, here. 

Before we took on Slavia Prague yesterday a crowd gathered towards the west end of the wall for the unveiling. The host was Chris Hollins, son of Bobby's former team-mate John, and there were also words from chairman Bruce Buck and Tambling himself. He met supporters young and old, signing autographs and posing for photos. The plaque bears his preferred no.8 shirt and words on his glittering Chelsea career. 

And how fitting that within 26 minutes of last night's match the Shed End net had rippled four times with Chelsea goals!
