szkocjasid Posted Saturday at 04:28 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:28 PM Probably want to get the play-offs semi finals organised, give them lots of time to publicise it. For commercial reasons obviously 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the decisions are probably already made and not announced. Also most of the team will be sorted..if not all of their team in some cases.

FromBendThree Posted Saturday at 04:35 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:35 PM The importance of the AGM has lessened to a massive extent in recent years. Now it is only about tidying u loose ends. Most teams are there not thereabouts by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs a mass overhaul in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy cookie returns? Posted Monday at 05:37 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:37 AM Things must be decided as Harris has signed 2 contracts for next year. One of those could be abroad as he had 3 club contracts last season but the other one will be in the uk so would indicate that the set up is already known.

Some riders can/will be signed in any eventuality of rules and points limit. Nobody though, will be signing the majority of their riders until the rules and points limit has been confirmed at the AGM. as I’ve said before, some things have been loosely agreed prior to the AGM in the past, only for them to change at the AGM itself. I still to this day, don’t understand why they leave the AGM so late. It should be done as soon as the last competitive fixture has been ridden IMO and I haven’t heard one decent argument why that isn’t the case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs have to submit their season's accounts and declare their commitment to complete a full season in 2025. It takes more than a couple of days after the last meetings to complete a full set of accounts, including debts, credits, bills to be paid etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Polish teams are completed before our AGM starts. Edited Monday at 07:08 AM by Aries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polish clubs still need to be given a licence to run in their chosen leagues next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s in those accounts is irrelevant. You’re making excuses. Poland is a professionally run league, it’s been proved time and time again that isn’t the case here. There’s no excuse for having the conference in mid November. If clubs can’t submit their accounts sooner than that then it sums up the woefully run sport in this country. Birmingham needing time is an issue, but they’ve held conferences before and kept places open for clubs needing more time so that’s not really an excuse either.

Polish clubs are often refused licences. What that says to me is the clubs may not always be professionally run, but the governing body is a lot more robust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British season officially ends on 31st October and the AGM usually follows within 2 weeks thereafter.
