MONARCHS V GLASGOW Join us this Friday, 24th April 2020, from 7:30pm as we turn back the clock to September 2017 for the Monarchs v Glasgow Championship match. Late in 2017 Edinburgh and Glasgow were both chasing Playoff places when Tigers came to Armadale on 15th September. Tigers had a strong team and for the early part of the season seemed set to sweep all before them, but all had not gone according to plan. However the visitors had Richie Worrall, Richard Lawson and Aaron Summers as a strong spearhead, while Sam Masters, Ricky Wells and Erik Riss were the home heat leaders. The two no. 6 riders Max Clegg and Glasgow guest James Sarjeant were to play a big part in the match. Watching on a mobile device and have an AppleTV, Chromecast or Samsung Smart TV?

MONARCHS V REDCAR Join us this Tuesday, 21st April 2020, from 7:30pm as we turn back the clock to July 2008 for the Monarchs v Redcar Premier League match. Our 2008 side was one of our best ever, a team full of skill and youthful enthusiasm. However we knew that Redcar could always be relied on for strong opposition especially with track specialists Grieves and Havelock leading the way. On our side Carl Stonehewer was standing in for the injured William Lawson. We suffered a major setback in heat 1 but our team was made of strong stuff.

I'm sure this is being shown for the benefit of Geoff100 For our opening match of the 1999 season, the third at Armadale Stadium, we faced Workington who were returning to the sport. The Comets had Carl Stonehewer and Brent Werner in an entertaining lineup while Monarchs had James Grieves as part of a nearly all-Scottish lineup. The odd man out was Peter Carr! The match was full of exciting racing and also features an interesting interview with Comets promoter Ian Thomas. Runtime: 52:02

Coming up tomorrow night, EMTV:Rewind presents a match from the previous incarnation of the Devils junior team: Dale Devils v Oxford from September 2004. Watch from 7:30pm! The Dale Devils always had a competitive team and were pretty strong at home, but when the Oxford Silver Machine Academy came visiting in September 2004 they brought top notch Conference riders such as Chris Schramm, Craig Branney and Jamie Courtney. Up against a home lineup of Wethers, Beaton, Campbell, Scott, Sneddon, Tully and Stoddart, we were ensured of some thrilling racing and a dramatic conclusion. Runtime: 27:36

Armadale Stadium staged the first Scottish International for many years when it hosted the first of a three-match series against England Under-21. The Scots had a solid side spearheaded by James Grieves and Kenny McKinna while England boasted such exceptional talents as Scott Nicholls and Lee Richardson. Runtime: 01:08:08

Monarchs were defending League Champions in 2004 but started the season with a very tough Premier Trophy section which included an outstanding Hull team. We lost at Glasgow by 11 points then faced the Tigers in the return at Armadale, their team featuring Parker, Stancl and Grieves and we faced a big hurdle if we were to land the match points and the aggregate bonus. This meeting was sponsored by Liam Rudden! You can watch here on the Official Website or over on Facebook from 7:30pm.

When Berwick visited in Championship Shield action, they produced one of the best matches of the 2019 season. The Bandits were topping the Northern Section of the shield at the time.

Tonight on EMTV-Rewind MONARCHS V SOMERSET, 2013 Join us this Tuesday, 31st March 2020, from 7:30pm as we turn back the clock to August 2013 for the Premier League match between Monarchs and Somerset!

You can watch the action on your television! Just tap here and follow the instructions. Somerset were our great rivals in the early part of the current decade and on 26th August 2013 they came to Armadale at the start of their northern tour looking for a victory. The result was an exciting match with our solid team (which had young Josh Bates guesting for Mitchell Davey) facing up to the twin threat of Jason Doyle and Nick Morris. There are two interviews in this presentation, one pre- and one post-match but the latter one is affected by a microphone problem. Set a reminder at https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/emtv-rewind

Health is a devolved issue so rightly the decision is made by the Scottish Government.

Have a bit of sympathy for announcers . Who will be first to get it wrong at Armadale - John, Liam or me? Just waiting on one of us giving the crowd a laugh.

The reason was planning consent. There were a number of residents objecting to the application for permanent consent for the Monarchs, so to give strength to that application John Campbell pulled the plug. The application was successful and consent was given. It was the sensible thing to do. I think if it hadn't been for that John would have kept going even although crowds weren't great.

There is a section started by Blobby in the National League Section for the Armadale Devils. They are being run separately from the Monarchs after all.

Hope it is as much fun as before, with a larger crowd. Will certainly be a lot easier after the meeting with no sheets to lift. A tour looks a possibility with the Devils at I.O.W. and a Wednesday southern Championship meeting.

Edinburgh being the senior club will have first call on Friday's against the others

Unfortunately not as far as a number of fans are concerned.

The meeting referee contacted the BSPA Vice-Chairman and was told that he had approved Phillips riding at Belle Vue.

GreenLight Go - I am not one of the seven, you refer to, as you will see in my original post last week where I posted my name. I am not hiding behind an alias. I got the information from a former senior official, but will not name him as i do not have permission to do so. You should always look at the root cause of a problem. That is what you ultimately have to deal with to stop things like this happening and unless you solve that the same could happen again. I have said that bullying is wrong and do not condone it. Bill Purnell

If bullying is happening yes it is wrong. I asked a question last week having heard about this but unfortunately did not get an answer so I did a bit of investigating. To get a llicence to take photographs you need to be 18. Is the problem that some object to strings being pulled for someone under that age to take photographs at tracks?

Serious question - At what age are BSPA approved photographers given a Licence/Permit?

Reading with interest but surely that is the problem with social media. Things get hidden in names etc. A bit like the author of this thread GreenLightGo. The accussed may like to explain themselves but I would imagine that their real name would not be used nor any other form of identification. Bill Purnell

Well read

The reason for the outage was that there was a power surge which caused the lights to fail along with those of the neighbouring estate. Also an ambulance had to be called for a spectator who had taken ill and it was not known how long it would take. The driver of the ambulance tried hard to demolish the referee's box on the way to attend the ill spectator.

Fixtures out now and a choice has to be made come June 8! Support the Monarchs at Leicester or go to Glasgow for the GP Qualifier. Personally I'd have liked to have gone to both. Not well thought out for Scottish supporters.
