A new era for Magpies games was ushered in last night at the first Hawke's Bay Rugby Union's fan council meeting.
Held in the McLean Park Chapman Lounge, the 25 individually selected council members met to discuss fresh ideas to bring more people to games, and improve the experience.
Union commercial and marketing manager Jay Campbell said the council was about giving fans a voice in creating what they want to experience at Magpies games.
"They're representatives of fans, driving what they want to see and what they believe are the key initiatives.
"[Last night] was about handing it over to the fan council and asking 'Ok, what do you want to see added to the Magpies experience'."
