In the mid 1960's my Dad let me stay up, streets were packed for the first night game. Sat on the wooden barriers half way up the Pontoon. League Cup Town v Bolton. 4-2 to the Mariners. Rod Green leading the line and Matt Tees sniffing round the edges to score two goals a piece. Town went on to beat Preston 4-1 and drew West Ham but my Dad wouldn't let me stay up again, I think he wanted a pint with his mates!
