Unfortunately those supporters have lived through decades of "send the owner the monthly bill to settle" culture that is across most of the professional clubs. The last owner was either a penniless chancer or someone who didnt buy into this philosophy and it nearly cost the town their football club.
Having both clubs under one ownership will, in time, repair the division. I have attended a couple of football fixtures this season now that the ownership isnt anti-rugby, which is and always will be my sport of choice in Wigan. Hopefully as time goes on and joint working becomes more embedded, then the divide will heal.
Sadly, I think an entire generation of Latics fans will need to disappear - as in grow old and die - before there's any chance of that. And before anyone jumps in and says some rugby fans are just as bad, while I wouldn't disagree with that, I would add that I don't know any rugby fans who want Latics out of the DW Stadium - they're mostly a bit too pragmatic for that.
