That\u2019s a whole decade of dedication, passion, and unwavering support from our members \u2013 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 \u2013 that speedway in Edinburgh had to survive. Thanks to the incredible commitment of our members, we\u2019ve not just survived, we\u2019ve built something truly special. Friday\u2019s celebration is for every single person who\u2019s stood by the Monarchs \u2013 rain or shine, home or away.“<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019ve been there through the tight bends and high-speed straights. And now, it\u2019s time to celebrate what we<\/em> \u2013 the fans \u2013 have achieved together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the night, we\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this isn\u2019t just about the past. It\u2019s about powering into the next ten years \u2013 and we need your help to do it. Dave Harley, Secretary of the Monarchs Fans Trust, added: “It\u2019s easy to forget just how close we came to losing this club. The Trust was born out of necessity, but it\u2019s grown into a genuine force for good. We\u2019re proud of what\u2019s been achieved \u2013 but we\u2019re not stopping here. If you care about the Monarchs and the future of speedway in Scotland, now\u2019s the time to get involved.“<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
