Held in Standish (Wigan) on 4 May 2009
Wiganers are sometimes known as ‘Pie Eaters’ but,
contrary to popular belief, this has nothing to do with their love of pies.
It dates back to a miners’ strike in the 1920’s when Wigan
miners were forced back to work before the strike was over.
As a result, they were said to have ‘eaten humble pie’ - hence the
expression ‘pie eaters’.
