A PIMBLETTS pack was always one of the great Wembley traditions for Saints fans travelling down on Challenge Cup final day.
And Pimbletts Bakery is offering the opportunity for fans to relive it with Saints Wembley Packs available for pre-order ahead of the big day.
Saints take on Castleford in the capital on Saturday, July 17, with up to 10,000 fans set to travel down for the occasion.
And Saints followers who have been unable to get a ticket, with limits on crowd numbers due to Covid, can still sample a taste of the Wembley experience with a tasty Pimbletts pack.
The Star reported in the spring when new owner of the Pimmies Pies bakery Ryan Little, 26, took over, and renamed it to bring back the iconic Pimbletts brand.
The firm is based at Jackson Street and is hoping to open a shop unit in the town centre in future.
Ryan, who grew up in Nutgrove, says he wanted to bring back the Pimbletts Wembley pack tradition after seeing a post on Facebook about them from the 1976 Challenge Cup final.

"We are going to try and do 500 of them and see where things go," he said.
"I think a lot of Saints fans are also staying at home and can still have the same experience.
"It's going very well so far, we didn't know what to expect but it seems popular.
"It is tapping into the tradition. People can order them from the bakery or on the website.
"I just hope that Saints win!"

Ryan added: "When I bought the business I wanted to try and get it where it was and recreate it to the same standards.
"We have sold out every day since the official launch (June 1). We have taken on two new members of staff and are looking at units in Earlestown and the town centre."
A post announcing the Saints Wembley Packs on the Pimbletts Bakery Facebook page said: "It's here ... Saints Wembley Pack now available to order!
"Support the Saints in style.
"Whether you're making the trip to Wembley or watching the game elsewhere do so with the quality local tastes of Pimbletts Bakery
Please note that your Saints Wembley Pack will be ready for collection at our Bakery on Jackson Street from 9am on Thursday, July 15, 2021".
