Almost There

It's not long now until the start of the 2017 season at Armadale Speedway and everything is in place for an exciting start to the season.

Unfortunately we have had one late call-off with Josh Grajczonek withdrawing from the field. He blew an engine at Sheffield last night and with bikes on their way to Poland he doesn't have enough equipment to take his place tonight.

Coming in to replace him is a man who also blew an engine last night, Theo Pijper. In his case the engine he blew was in his van on his way home from Redcar last night but after some running around this morning he has managed to secure some transport to get to Edinburgh.

After a fairly dreary morning at the stadium things have brightened up considerably in the early afternoon and we hope that we'll have sunshine right up to start time.

The grand parade will get underway at 7.15 and we hope to have the first race on track at 7.25,

We have produced a very special championship programme of 44 pages selling at £3.50.

Season tickets are not valid but season ticket holders should enter the stadium by their normal gate to obtain discounted prices.

The stadium gates will open at 6.30.
