Edinburgh Monarchs have admitted they are 'extremely disappointed' after their proposed new stadium suffered a blow when West Lothian Council's Executive committee approved the sale of the site to an alternative bidder.
The club, who will be leaving Armadale Stadium - their home for the past 26 years - at the end of the season had hoped to construct a new West Lothian Community Stadium in Livingston but they will likely need to pursue other sites following yesterday's decision.
In a statement on the club's website, Development Director Gordon Campbell commented, "West Lothian Community Stadium is a fantastic proposal that would deliver significant social, economic and community benefits to the local area and across West Lothian.
