The Monarchs Speedway Supporters' Club is totally independent from the Promotion of Edinburgh Speedway.
The Primary function of the MSSC is to support the Edinburgh Monarchs Riders and Edinburgh Speedway.
All riders are treated equally, when presentations are made. The only criteria is that riders have to have ridden six meetings for the Monarchs before they become eligible.
The MSSC support the Promotion throughout the season by running the "Half Cut Draw" at each home meeting and by taking a small sponsorship in the Scottish Open Championship. This past season, 2007, they have given £3,915 and in the preceding six years back to 2001 gave a total of £24,859 towards the running of speedway at Armadale from the HCD.
The Jack Young Memorial Trophy presented at the Scottish Open and the Rider of the Year Trophy (Rosebowl) , which is presented to the Top Monarch of the season, as voted by the Members of the affilliated Branches, are the property of the MSSC.
The MSSC's Secondary Function is to provide a Social Scene for the Supporters of Edinburgh Speedway.
Both functions obviously overlap. Look out for frequently updated Diary Page, which will tell you about Pub Hunts, Discos, Quizzes and lots of other events during the years to come.
The MSSC has four affiliated Branches. They are Meadowbank Branch, Skittles Branch, Stockbridge Branch and Western Branch. Why not join the members at one of their Branch Meetings. Details of when they meet can be found in the Diary Page. The Branches compete each year in a Speedway/General Knowledge Quiz for the R.L.Rae Trophy
