Summer Draw Winners

The winners of the 2019 Monarchs Fans Trust Summer Draw were pulled out of the hat at Armadale Stadium on Friday 12th July during the Staggs Bar Monarchs match against Newcastle Diamonds.

The draw was a huge success and whilst we have still to finalise the numbers it has been our most successful draw to date and has raised approximately £2,000 for the Trust, when the final number is known it will be announced. This can only be done with the help and generosity of our wonderful supporters who have bought and sold tickets over the last few months. Tickets have been sold far and wide with Kenneth Lindell from Sweden the winner of the £500 first prize. We thank everyone who has helped us achieve this especially all the people and companies that donated the prizes.

Full list of winners is below.

Ron MacNeill

Everyone involved with the Monarchs Fans Trust were shocked and saddened to hear that photographer Ron MacNeill passed away yesterday. He has been fantastic to Edinburgh Speedway over the years and a true friend to the Trust. The majority of photographs on our website were taken by Ron, we can only thank him for his contribution. A great gentleman who will be sadly missed, our thoughts go out to his friends and family at this sad time.

Sign Up Tonight

Tonight (Friday 24th may) is the Fans Trust night at the speedway, we attempted to run this last month so hopefully we get better weather tonight.

If anyone signs up for the Monarchs Fans Trust tonight at the Speedway you will be invited to watch a couple of races from the centre green during the meeting. This is a fantastic experience right in the middle of the action where you get a real feeling of how fast a speedway bike can go. Add to that the pressure of the first Scottish derby of the season it is not to be missed.

All the details for how to join online can be found on our JOIN US page.

On Friday night we will have standing order forms and a PC set up to help people join. All you need are your bank account details and your address and our committee members will be there to help you.
