Exactly !

It would serve both parties best if we could get that kind of joint approach back....it won't be easy and it won't be quick....and like I say....any hope of it happening will only gain any impetus once the field is cleared and Latics get a new regime......which will happen eventually !

It doesn't matter. If Latics fan's decided the rugby wasn't an evil in the town and came to embrace the club and the sport there will be rugby fans complaining the stadium is overrun on match days with football fans.

Both sets of supporters are now as bad as one another, trying to score points over the internet over attendances and results. Even the level headed fans of both teams still have to put in sly digs or imply negative connotations with each club.

To truly distance ourselves from the rivalry the sacrifice's that need to be made are to swallow a bit of pride and ignore the Latics/Rugby if your not a fan and forget about passing down this childish 'Never Forget' or 'This town is a Rugby League town ONLY' verbatim to our children and their children and let them decide what they want to watch and treat both sides with equal respect.

Only when that happens will there be an end to the feud.

Well said that man!
Although as previously stated the focus of negativity that is Whelan/Linday will have to depart the stage before that process can even begin

Maybe Stains will let you ground share with them.

Naaah, it's always good to put a face to a post. Especially when both face and post display equal levels of sublime idiocy.
