szkocjasid Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 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 October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy cookie returns? Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 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 Iâve 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, donât 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 havenât heard one decent argument why that isnât the case. 6 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  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Polish teams are completed before our AGM starts. Edited October 14 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...

Whatâs in those accounts is irrelevant. Youâre making excuses. Poland is a professionally run league, itâs been proved time and time again that isnât the case here. Thereâs no excuse for having the conference in mid November. If clubs canât submit their accounts sooner than that then it sums up the woefully run sport in this country. Birmingham needing time is an issue, but theyâve held conferences before and kept places open for clubs needing more time so thatâs not really an excuse either. Edited October 14 by Aries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What that says to me is the clubs may not always be professionally run, but the governing body is a lot more robust. 3 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.

I wonder if the subject of riders failing drink and drugs tests comes up and what can be done as a stronger deterrent next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And frankly hard to see the relevance of clubs accounts at the promoters/league AGM.   Edited October 20 by 1 valve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
