About 10 years ago I lost a very special (mint condition) oval dinner plate with Coventry City Crest and 'Grandstand Restaurant' in the center, I blamed everyone for smashing it and not owning up. So I am starting to renovate my kitchen and guess what...wedged under the floor units, behind the sink?????? sat the little beauty, still mint, I feel like ordering a curry.

Mine ain't oval it's circular. How did you post the picture? Bit of a Luddite where PC's are concerned!

Fear not Nick, she has seen many a vindaloo in the past (the dark red one's) with no battle scars. To me (as silly as it seems) It was just a very small CCFC related respite in what is a very hard time for me, and us all.

Went for my seventh birthday to the Grandstand restaurant for lunch before the match. Had a lemonade at half time in the bar across the stairs from the restaurant. Would never have thought to nick a plate at that age.

Yes indeed, I think you will find you have a starter plate and mine is the 'big boy' main course, rather swish number

My Grandad gave me the plate years ago, that is one of the reasons why I was so happy to find it, are you telling me he could have stole it!!!!!!

They could have sold them in the club shop back then, so no need to panic.

I am humbled by your superior collection, maybe Wednesdays, in a pub or something?

Seriously. It's about a plate. Why does everything get turned to fucking SISU. People need to think about something else occasionally you'll make yourselves ill.
