When I was a kid 70s, I knew the North stand as the shed end. Probably the corrugated iron on the sides made it look a shed.
Nah, that was probably after Chelsea had smashed up the wooden turnstiles in Harvey Gardens, took it then had a bonfire in there behind the goal with the debris :-o

Remember that, was in the north stand. Chelsea supporters did not take kindly to getting beat 4-0. Great game that. The football not the Chelsea supporters smashing up the ground.
There was lot of Charlton in what would now be the right lower (when facing goal) who scooted when Chelsea occupied the upper left area, where the Charton supporters, who sang sat. I was under 10. Remember the big line of police walking round, preventing the game being called off.
