The Scotwaste Monarchs have appointed John McGillivray to be the club Marketing Manager, and he has started the job already.

John will already be known to supporters as centre green presenter, standing in for Scott Wilson on occasions, and in fact he is a long-term supporter.

?I first went to Speedway in my pram!? he admits. ?My parents were fans and they took me.

?I'm delighted to have this chance and I'm looking forward to it ? the main aim is to raise the awareness of the Scotwaste Monarchs throughout central Scotland and beyond.

?Raising sponsorship isn't my primary job but that would be a bonus.

?I'll be interested in hearing from anyone who has ideas, or who wants to know more about the Monarchs.?

John is also something of a Falkirk FC supporter, and was particularly friendly with Monarchs' Australian rider Rory Schlein during Rory's time with the club.

His family have been involved with the sport in various ways including sponsorship and fundraising and all are Armadale regulars.

John can be contacted by email on ?
