Angry Wests Tigers fans have had enough - and are planning a protest rally at Monday's clash against Parramatta to vent their frustrations.The fans have formed a Facebook group - Wests Tigers Action Group - and are considering a variety of moves including a walkout during the game at Homebush.Other measures the group plans are to stand and turn their backs on the field in the 11th and 12th minutes, symbolising the number of consecutive years the team has missed the finals, and handing out pamphlets demanding change at the top."We have been poor in terms of results for over a decade and nothing seems to change," the group's administrator Clint Schmeider told Wide World of Sports."The fans have had enough - I live in Newcastle and my kids won't even come with me to Sydney to watch games anymore, which really hurts."They are sick of seeing us lose and I really can't blame them."This isn't aimed at the players - it's the people who run the club who need to be held accountable."They are making the poor decisions and we fans suffer as a result."Our group only started recently but is growing all the time."We are not nut jobs - just frustrated fans."The thing I want to emphasise though is whatever we do will be peaceful and orderly. No way will there be riots or anything like that."We just want to change the culture of the club because things just seem to be going from bad to worse."The Tigers are staring down the barrel of their sixth straight loss to start the season when they meet the Eels on Monday.
