Offering discount to season ticket holders... https://wakefieldtrinity.com/blog/2021/ ... t-holders/ This is the guy I mentioned a few weeks back who's wife is very good friends with Big Dave's missus. I delivered to his shop in Airedale yesterday and he confirmed that he is sponsoring Dave this coming season along with 2 of the Academy lads too.

will look and sound weird having a Castleford firm supporting a player good business for Wakefield customers but may put some cas fans off going to his shop

The firm may be in Cas but that doesn’t make it a Cas firm but I get your point.

You’d have to be pretty blinkered even for a Cas fan to take it that far but I’m sure there are some.

If you visit the Kingfisher chippy they support and sponsor the Giants still a busy chippy in Wakey

Eh never noticed that. I hate Shudds with a passion but it’s a bloody good chippy!

Didn't know that, another chippy off my list, they may not notice as its about 6 Months between chippy visits.
Just checked Giants page and no mention of them in the Partner list though

Not as good since they stopped using dripping and went to oil

It's a while since I went in but there was a sign in the place sponsoring the Giants

I’ll check next time I go before I order

It's always been a dilemma for me whether to support businesses that support RL in general or boycott them unless it's Wakefield. At work I would never use nor recommend visiting tipper drivers to use Mend-a-hose for example.

I go every Friday teatime and there's nothing up now

Don't like either. Leaves a taste lingering for days....... Huddersfield, that is

Just come in another top ten chip pie in Yorkshire poll. Best around for many years in my taste. Not sure that’s correct re cooking oil. Owned Durkar chip pie for a while. My cholesterol went to 9.7 with the beef dripping. A quad bypass testifies to it.
Things in general seem to be taking a positive upwards curve.

Yeah it’s right I asked, it got new owners a bit back.

If like me you have a fish supper once a month your probably ok with beef dripping but more often I get the point.

As it has a huge regular clientele I get why they did it, it works on many levels but it still don’t taste as good imho.

on the odd occasions when we do our own roast tatties I learned the other day that beef dripping reaches a higher temperature so will be looking to get a jar for xmas dinner to get that crispy taste on the roasties, normally we par boil then rough them up in a pan or cullinder to fluff them up this time I'm going to sprinkle a little ground cumin over the top them

Likely an auto correct but I am really liking the idea of a chip pie.

I've had one, it was chips in a pie with no top and gravy poured in. It was really nice but I was very drunk at the time.

When you've boiled them just coat them liberally in flour before you roast them, no need to thank me squire I'm happy in the fact you'll have had a good Xmas dinner

Are people that petty that they will no longer give somewhere their custom because of what rugby team they support/sponsor?

Is it not reciprocal? Business' may sponsor a team in the hope that it encourages supports to buy their wares, it can't be that surprising that rival fans would be put off.

that's what we normally do just adding cumin for a bit of flavour

will do pal have a good xmas yourself

no top

that won't make it a pie would it call it a pastry tray of chips

It seemed like a pie on the night
