While the news of Monarchs' future plans has grabbed the immediate attention throughout the sport, we must focus once again on a vital match in the current season as another team in contention for the Playoff places, Scunthorpe Scorpions, arrives at Armadale on Friday.

Edinburgh Monarchs Speedway is pleased to announce plans to construct a new stadium in the heart of West Lothian to open in spring 2023.

Oxford led by six points at two separate stages of tonight's match, but the Monarchs fought back to take the three points courtesy of stunning 5-1 advantages in heats 13 and 15. Oxford certainly deserved the point they earned with a very solid performance, especially as track specialist Scott Nicholls was missing.

Oxford have had 15 years out of the sport but have won their battle to return. The last time Monarchs and Cheetahs met on track was the 1997 Cup Final in the first year of speedway at Armadale! But Oxford are visitors to Armadale on Friday, and strong rivals to the Monarchs for a Playoff place later in the season. That's what makes this week's match so important for both clubs. At present Monarchs have a slight advantage in the table but an away win on Friday would swing that round.

Newcastle Diamonds have withdrawn from the British Speedway Championship with immediate effect.

Stellar Devils take on the Mildenhall Fen Tigers in a National Development League clash at Armadale Stadium tonight from 7:30pm. Get the full details here >
