To be honest I don't remember that section of terracing ever being opened, since I started going in early 80's, there was a picture on here a few months ago where it's open for the 88 play off final v Boro, I don't remember that and I was in Shed that day.

My first Chelsea match! I've written about it elsewhere, so briefly: I was in the benches with my uncle, and was instantly hooked. I went back for the next home game (3-3 v Coventry), but this time I was in the Shed! Great days, fantastic memories.

Dougie's gonna get you.

Back in the 70's that area was supposed to be a childrens' or families enclosure.  I do remember watching the Boxing Day match with Webby in goal from there.

Webby giving Marty Feldman a haircut. A fine footballer and a fine comedian.

After 77/78 season the original terrace barriers were replaced and new concrete steps made. Due to lack of money, the shed end east corner and the top corner of the north stand by the west stand were closed. 
 

The Boro game people jumped over Into the closed area  as it was so packed in the shed.

Me and mate did that with a few others when we played Liverpool in first season back in div 1 84/84, he ripped his Lois cords, climbing over, police told us to jump back, shed was so packed we struggled to see anything after that. Won 3-1 if memory serves me though
