His Royal Highness Ed the Monarch has decreed that all kids aged 16 and under will be admitted free of charge to this Friday's Monarchs vs Plymouth clash when Ed will also celebrate his Birthday Bash!

Ed has been growing more excited by the day ahead of his annual Birthday Bash, taking place this Friday July 24th at the home match against Plymouth Gladiators.

A massive speedway match is coming up as Monarchs duel with the Gladiators for crucial Cab Direct Championship points. The Gladiators will be led by British speedway legends Scott Nicholls and Danny King - two Armadale experts that will keep the Monarchs team on their toes.

Make sure to arrive early as Ed is treating all fans to birthday cupcakes on arrival - whilst stocks last - and there's a birthday boy with the appetite of a lion around!

During the match, Ed will host his annual Fun Run – inviting all kids in attendance to join him for a lap of the Armadale shale. Every participant will receive a prize, so listen out on Friday for the call to the track.

The Gladiators are set to bring a strong travelling support who are sure to add to the atmosphere on what will be a great occasion.

Vintage Speedway Bike Action

To make the occasion extra special, Ed has arranged for a vintage speedway bike display to be in the stadium for all to take a look at. The bikes will be positioned beside the Club Shop pre-match.

The bikes will then take to the track after the match for a Scotland vs England demonstration match.
