Stellar Monarchs have linked up with local club Falkirk FC to form an exciting new partnership ahead of the upcoming speedway season.

Based less than 8 miles from Armadale Stadium as the crow flies, Falkirk FC are enjoying a terrific season riding high at the top of the Scottish League One table.

The partnership has been formed to bring mutual benefit to both sides in areas such as fan engagement and community work.

Stellar Monarchs Development Director Gordon Campbell said, "This is a terrific partnership with Falkirk FC and it is a great credit to Graeme Stewart at Falkirk and our own Scott Wilson in putting this together.

"Through working with Falkirk we will boost awareness of the Monarchs in the local area as we aim to continue to grow our fanbase. We are working on initiatives to bring benefit to Falkirk FC and to introduce their supporters to speedway.

"We are excited to see this partnership established and to see it develop in the coming seasons. It fits nicely into our growth strategy for the Monarchs across all areas."

To kick off the tie-up, Stellar Monarchs will be present this Saturday (23rd March) at Falkirk's home match against Edinburgh City FC, where a big crowd is expected as there is a chance that Falkirk could clinch the league title.

Justin Sedgmen and Ed the Monarch will join John McGillivray and Scott Wilson to host a speedway display outside the main stand pre-match to introduce fans to speedway racing and the Monarchs.

As part of the partnership arrangement Falkirk FC are set to visit Armadale Stadium for a Monarchs match this season with more details to be announced nearer the time.

Stellar Monarchs are working on forming other similar partnerships across the local area. If you would like to partner with the Monarchs or have a suggestion for a partnership then please get in touch here.
