One day I went to get one off Roy (Hearts were playing Burnley in the Texaco cup the next day) and he game me the pass. Just as I was leaving he asked me to get him a programme!! I did!. Did Huxtible not get into bother after girls were admitted (a few years after i left unfortunately)? In my day The dome was just the Headmaster.
