It's all systems go for a glorious evening of nostalgia at Armadale tonight but the main part of the business is for the Border Roofing Monarchs to secure three league points against Plymouth.

It looks like the weather will be kind for us when the biggest crowd of the season so far is expected to turn out to see the present day Border Roofing Monarchs, or at least some of them, take on the Plymouth Devils. And we'll be joined by a whole host of Armadale legends to celebrate the 500th meeting at the track.

We have produced a special 32 page match programme for the event which will be on ale for £3. This will include a photo of every regular member of the team since 1997.

We will also have a very special display of all the race jackets the team has turned out in at Armadale and some fascinating photos of the track under construction in early 1997. We'll be interviewing all the Legends present and as we are expecting many these interviews will start before seven thirty.

We've also produced a special poster that the legends present will sign.

As an extra special treat for everyone, the roadworks are complete outside the stadium and the road is fully open again although the road surface has still to be finished off.

Gates open at 6.30pm.
