The Pie-eaters Motorcycle Club have turned, in desperation, to the makers of Uncle Joe's Mintballs in a bid to save their kidnapped mascot flag. They recieved a ransom note which shows grinning masked men holding their prized possession. To their utter relief the company have delivered the goods.
The bikers standard was cruelly snatched from over the entrance to their caravan at a recent Haigh Hall rally by a rival gang from Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. The Wigan Club initially thought their prized asset had simply blown away in the wind. It was only several weeks later that they recieved a sinister ransom note and photograph of masked Ross bikers demanding tins of mintballs in return for the captured flag. If the pie-eaters do not come up with the goods, comes the stark warning, "the flag gets it."
But the Wiganers are now close to fulfilling their part of the bargain and are already plotting a revenge attack when they travel down to Herefordshire with their boiled sweet cargo.
Pie-eaters chairman, Steve Tocker, said, "If this is how the Ross-on-Wye club repay our hospitality, then they have got a nasty surprise coming. We are not going to take this lying down!
"There we are hosting a rally for bikers from all over the country, and at the end of the day, the flag with our emblem just disappeared. We went to the William Santus Company for help and fortunately the bosses, John and Anthony Winnard agreed to give us a couple of tins. Apparently you can't get Uncle Joe's down in Ross which might account for the drastic measures these reprobates took."
