Technically all correct, I'm sure. However, we, as fans, have been looking for a clear process of management of our sport for many years. For me, that is a "management committee" who do not have a vested interest or it is a meeting of all promoters. We now appear to have neither. The process of setting the scene for next season is now invisible to the average fan. "Discussions that have taken place already" sounds like secret squirrels or as we used to say, the powers that be meeting in smoke filled rooms. If the AGM is so redundant in terms of establishing the key rules and regs for next season, why have one? And for those promoters not "on the inside", what say do they have in shaping of our sport?

January, WOW, same rubbish as last year, when will they learn

He would be a good signing, rides Belle Vue better than King's Lynn.

AGM not required to ratify a TV deal as it isn’t a matter under the articles or constitution of the company.  Delays are usually around lateness of audited accounts or amendments to the articles etc, though the latter can be dealt with via an EGM.  There is also the possibility of a company being restructured such as a major merger, acquisition, restructuring, or change of control, and management wants to present the updated resolutions or picture to shareholders.
