Holland's Pies
 
Do this company still sponsor stuff at the Stanley? I know they have a board on the ground, but is there anything else?

Apparently they are the new Burnley shirt sponsors, in a deal until 2009.

They sponsor the away end - don't they?

"Over the summer we announced a second naming rights deal for the Coppice Terrace, which is now known as the Hollands Pies Terrace."

More than likely, but they are smaller. Just like Wagon Wheels and Creme Eggs (and real eggs). It's a conspiracy I tell ye!!

Nice to see you back Henry. ;)

Thanks TM.

However, I've noticed that Wagon Wheels have actually been getting bigger recently, so I'm very concerned that I might be Shrinkin.

Nice effect Henry ;)

However, I have to disagree. When I was a child Wagon Wheels were literally the size of a wagon wheel. One biscuit would feed a family for a week, if they were content to live off marshmellow related confectionary. ;)

However, on the Wagon Wheel, You are most definitely right, for I too remember them being MUCH bigger when I was a child!

Finally, to Mr Morton..............great to see you back Henry, hope all is good with you n yours.

Apparently, due to the way cows are slaughtered for the burger industry, all mass produced burgers contain a certain amount of faeces. :unsure8:

I wouldn't worry about it, as usual Burnley are behind the times - Hollands sponsored us years ago, in fact I'm wearing my Hollands Pies centenary shirt as I speak, usually takes them dingles a while to catch up :D.

...and Curly Wurlys. They were two foot long when I was at primary school!

Much as I hate the Dingles, their town and everything associated with them, I just can't boycott Hollands Pies. They're too gorgeous and I know enough Hollands employees that eat 'em so no worries there... :D

More Pie History


Halfway during WWII in occupied France, a British NCO emerged from undercover because he'd smelt the gorgeous pies being
cooked at the local bistro.
And , as the smell wafted into his upturned nostrils , he thought "Aah! . . . " and you can fill in the rest for yourself.


Anyway, he asked la maitresse d'hotel if he could have one of her most enticingly aromatic pies, and possibly a glass of beer to accompany it.

She was happy to oblige, but warned him that the Bosche were in the area and that they emphatically were not selling vindscreen vipers.

Thus, unfortunately, while he tucked into his pie and quaffed his ale, he was interrupted by two Nazi goons in full kit ; they pointed their machine-guns at him and pulled the triggers.

Too late for them, however, as he'd already dropped from his bar-stool, rolled to his right and fired two deadly rounds . . . one at each.

As the astonished landlady watched, he strolled over to the still-twitching bodies and unsheathed his 10" Bowie knife.

She was certain, having seen local newsreels, that he would next remove their highly-prized regalia.

But no.

Instead, he sliced off the left ear of one and the right ear of the other.

Returning to his dining place he then stuffed these fresh and bloody lumps of enemy cartilage into his still-steaming meal.

"Zut Alors !! ", exclaimed Madame.

"Vous etes SAS, n'est ce pas ?"

"Mais non", replied our hero.

" Pie'n'Ear Corps ."

Welcome back Henry, French pies indeed.

I can see a new advertising campaign coming from this thread -

"Holland's Pies - they're the Dog's B******s", maybe not ;)

(Never seen a cat or dog in Baxenden though)
