This Friday at Armadale Stadium, as the Edinburgh Monarchs take on the Poole Pirates, we’re not just gearing up for a thrilling night of speedway action – we’re also celebrating a major milestone: 10 years of the Monarchs Fans Trust!
That’s a whole decade of dedication, passion, and unwavering support from our members – and frankly, without you, Edinburgh Speedway might not be here today. Let that sink in. Len Jones, Chairman of the Monarchs Fans Trust, said: “When we started the Trust ten years ago, it was out of a simple belief – that speedway in Edinburgh had to survive. Thanks to the incredible commitment of our members, we’ve not just survived, we’ve built something truly special. Friday’s celebration is for every single person who’s stood by the Monarchs – rain or shine, home or away.“
The original committee signing the Constitution of the Monarchs Fans Trust 10 years ago
Since our inception in 2014, the Monarchs Fans Trust has played a vital role in keeping the sport we love on track. From essential funding to unshakable fan support, we’ve been there through the tight bends and high-speed straights. And now, it’s time to celebrate what we – the fans – have achieved together.
On the night, we’ll be handing out special flyers, sharing stories, and revving up the atmosphere as we look back on ten years of triumphs, challenges, and community spirit.
But this isn’t just about the past. It’s about powering into the next ten years – and we need your help to do it. Dave Harley, Secretary of the Monarchs Fans Trust, added: “It’s easy to forget just how close we came to losing this club. The Trust was born out of necessity, but it’s grown into a genuine force for good. We’re proud of what’s been achieved – but we’re not stopping here. If you care about the Monarchs and the future of speedway in Scotland, now’s the time to get involved.“
Not a member yet? Now’s the perfect time to join. By becoming part of the Trust, you’re not just supporting the team – you’re securing the future of speedway in Edinburgh. Find full details on our JOIN US page.
So come down early, grab a flyer, have a chat with us, and be part of something special. Let’s make Friday night a celebration to remember – for the club, for the fans, and for the future.

We’d just like to give you an update following our recent ‘call to arms’ to encourage more of our supporters to become members of the Monarchs Fans Trust.
On the evening of 19th July 2024, prior to the match against the Workington Comets, several of the Trust committee members handed out a flyer which provided a ‘potted history’ of the Trust to date plus some information on why its existence is still very much required.
The response was positive and, in some cases, immediate with a healthy number of supporters expressing their wish to become new members, some doing so on the night. To those that joined thank you so much as this now brings our membership back up into triple figures and will assist in ensuring the Trust can continue to support the Club going forward.
The Trust Committee continue to meet with Club representatives monthly and are party to information concerning the battle to keep the Club alive. The main continuing challenge is regarding the crowd size. Whilst numbers have risen slightly in recent weeks, they are still considerably down from a level that would make us all breathe easier.
We know that the Club and sport have provided us with some wonderful memories, entertainment and friendships throughout its history. If we want our Club to be around for many years to come perhaps, we can all play our part in introducing more people to the racing at Armadale.
Do any of our members have any ideas on how to attract new blood to the sport? The Trust Committee and Club would gladly listen to your ideas.
Thanks again to those that recently joined the Trust and to those that are already members. To those that are still considering joining please do not hesitate to contact a committee member or check the JOIN US page of the website for more details.
The Trust Committee will continue to work with the Club and should any of our new or existing members like to join the committee please reach out to us on a Friday night at the track or by using the CONTACT US page.
Before Friday night’s meeting against the Workington Comets, members of the Monarchs Fans Trust committee handed out flyers stressing the importance of the Trust. The club gave a mid-season update last week detailing concerns about the finances of the club and the attendances at Armadale this season. The Trust is here to help the club through these times, and whilst we have probably rested on our laurels for the last couple of years, the committee now feels this is the time to remind fans of who we are and why we are here.
Many thanks to all of the fans we approached who graciously took a copy of our hand-out but also the many who took time to chat and enquire about Trust Membership. We would love to engage with any fans, old or new, who would like to get involved with the Trust. Please take the time to look at our flyer speak to our committee member or reach out through any of our social media channels. We have also had a few people sign up for the Trust since then, special thanks to those that have done that and if you were thinking about it please reach out if you need any help.
