That one is implanted in my brain! I can see it perfectly without having to look it up.
Middle of May, 1978. I had just finished my final exams, in computer science, at university.
Scheduling hours and hours of exams for thousands of students within two or three weeks - with a variety of halls and rooms to juggle, class sizes from single figures to well into three figures, and of course some people taking peculiar combinations of subjects - is no trivial task. In fact it was done by a neat program developed by a member of the computer science department.
The best bit about that was that he "fixed" the program so that the computer science exams ended first of all in the university - i.e. they were over before anyone else's. And the reason for this was to allow us to enjoy the Home Internationals, without exams getting in the way.
And what did we get? Willie bloody Donachie

So the away form seems to be better than our home form, so how do we transfer that to results at home?
Simples!
* Inform the players TCS has been attacked by the taliban, so will have to play all our games "away".
* Drive the players round in the team bus for 3-4hrs & put them up in a hotel the night before.
* Put the away fans in the main stand and home support in the away ends, it should represent a typical away game.
just a few steps but i think it might just work to convince the players to carry on their away form at home!
any further contributions to the master plan are appreciated.
