The Shed End

Lore & Background

It was originally called the Fulham Road End. Because its roof resembled a corrugated iron shed, supporters nicknamed it "The Shed", and the club eventually adopted the name officially; the seated stand that replaced the terrace kept it. A large part of the original wall from the back of the terrace still stands along the south side of the stadium.

Chelsea's hooligan firm was originally known as the Chelsea Shed Boys. In 2007 the club launched a Back to the Shed campaign to improve the atmosphere at home matches.

Away supporters were later moved to the Shed End. It houses the club's centenary museum, in the former Shed Galleria, and a memorial wall where families of fans who have died can leave a permanent memorial. Peter Osgood's ashes were laid under the Shed End penalty spot in 2006.
