Look...if you're asking @JiriHrdina & @ WastedYouth then you're clearly not the guys. And that is ok. Sports is entertainment, and I can't tell either of you how to enjoy it.
As for fanbases that have had an effect on decisions that teams take...I think its more rare to find a fanbase that hasn't gotten a coach or manager fired or even reversed decisions from ownership.
Some of the examples are fun though:
1. The Fire Lowe sign in Edmonton

2. Ottawa vs Melnyk

3. Jets fans vs Adam Gase
4. Lions fans vs Matt Millen

5. Fan protests against the European Super League - Man U fans stormed the field!
6. Even Bluejacket fans protested management in 2012!

Overall...Calgary looks to be a pretty easy going fanbase. We show up, we don't cause a ruckus, we need a coach sacrifice every few years, and we're fearful the "team will leave". Sounds like a formula to keep on doing what we're doing.
I even look at myself, my bare minimum is don't embarrass me. So no Peters incidents lingering is my fandom line...anything like that needs to be immediately stamped out.
