My first appearance on the Shed was 74, v Carlisle. It was unique. The roof cover was very limited, reducing the noise, but the terrace was very big, and dangerous. Its size meant that there were numerous factions, not simply the Right, Middle and Left side, but contingents from various suburbs that were self contained units. Only the ICF and Arsenal attempted any serious occupations on a regular basis. My favourite game was against Leeds in the 80;s, last game of the season, when we went up as Champions, Leeds were mid table, but brought down 10,000 to help us celebrate.

[@simonmower5930]

10,000?? I think you can halve that and some

[@eddiemc10]

Arsenal in 1969 and the day of the yellow paint in 1973 stayed in the middle all the game.

[@questionade4229]

Gary longden 10,000? I think you mean 500

[@garylongden]

@@questionade4229 I meant 10.000. They had all the north terrace full var the wings

[@questionade4229]

@@garylongden You must have been young mate 500 can look like thousands when you're a kid. They bought 500 and smashed up the new electric scoreboard. Leeds Utd never ever bought 10000 in those days, I doubt they'd bring it now. Only Liverpool, Utd and Chelsea fans travelled away with those numbers in England back then. Even arsenal spurs and west ham sometimes struggled to bring 10000 to the bridge, like I said only Utd and Liverpool always had such a vast away following in the 80's

[@lukassssi]

i grew up in ex yugoslavia, end of 80's following my club Dinamo Zagreb. We were as young as fans in videos of Chelsea shed in the 70s, in our mid teens. I didnt really know english at the time but somebody came up with singing "lets go Chelsea Chelsea is the best". Didnt really know much about Chelsea (reckon they played in second division at the time). As my firm BBB Dinamo Zagreb became as famous in Europe as Headhunters were before, I still love and support Chelsea in England, even with all the shitty changes in ownership. Respect&regards from Dinamo Zagreb!

[@Isleofskye]

I don't go to friendlies apart from the infamous riot at Millwall, again in 1972 when Millwall played West Ham for the first time in living memory for The Testimonial of Harry Cripps, our most much loved player of all time when West Ham got kicked out of THe Cold Blow Lane and the trouble went on all night, by all accounts... Fumnily enough, though a Left Back, he scored the crucial goal in that 1972 Cup win at Goodison mate.One of my biggest regrets is that I,shamefully, went to a Dog meeting and not his funeral over in Essex which I still regret in 1995.... Hibs? Didn't go but they, apparently, caught the boys unawares as they turned up for a Pre-Season Friendly and nobody else did..lol

[@markstedman9099]

Which one was babs?,the first time I saw him was when we went away to Forrest it was 77 or could've been 78,you couldn't get near him he had his boys all around him.I remember seeing his hook and I thought shit that's definitely Babs!.I also remember Forrest made an attempt on us (serious crew back then)but Chelsea beat em off ,I think it was babsys boys in the front not sure though.I don't feel old at all😪

Babs was a coloured lad he made his name at Darby I was with him at the time I am ginger

@@Isleofskye Did you go to that match at The Den, 4 September 1976, Millwall 3-0 Chelsea? I was there as an away supporter. Never seen such grief at a football ground before or since. Always had a bit of a sneaking respect for Millwall after that. I'm 60 now and my match-going days are long gone. It's all changed now and I doubt there's any place for the likes of me.
