The Monarchs have reached an agreement in principle for the reprieve of speedway at Armadale Stadium for the 2023 season, subject to the conclusion of a formal agreement.The dramatic development comes after the recent Farewell to Armadale event rounded-off the time of the Monarchs at the stadium in the past fortnight.

There always remained the hope that if the stadium owners could not complete the sale of the stadium at the present time, that speedway might make a temporary return.Monarchs Co-Promoter John Campbell explained, “We have been in contact with the stadium owners throughout the past two months as they worked to clarify their current position in the sale of the stadium.

Word reached us on Tuesday that they are now in a position to make the stadium available for speedway in 2023.“Since then, informal discussions have continued and have now reached an agreement in principle for the Monarchs to remain at Armadale Stadium for 2023.“This is still subject to the formalisation of this agreement and confirmation of final details which we will continue to work on in the days ahead.

However, we have an excellent relationship with the Cochrane Family and believe that this will conclude positively.”The speedway world moves quickly each winter which has brought forward this announcement as soon as possible, Campbell said: “Our supporters are the best around and we wished to alleviate their worries as soon as possible.
