Hearing it's been postponed should be 3rd November, no new date as yet 🤔 here we go again like last year all over again

They will need to discuss the new Polish league rider requirements, the rumoured ‘demand’ for an 8 team Premiership , with a doubt over Sheffield and a possible Eastbourne return . The supposed doing away with the NDL ( 😢 ) and then place what’s left in a championship that can be decided by a referees announcement it seems 🤷‍♂️.

On another thread its reported that the Plymouth promoter has said its been postponed.  He might need a delay to get a new air fence financed.

He said it was postponed but no new date had been arranged, Plymouth have got 19k towards the air fence

They have been talking for the last few months and the alledgally new polish rules have been around several weeks, all this should have previously discussed, and last season signed off, and any new rules put in place for 2027. It's not rocket science

Again why do they treat the fans with such contempt? The lack of communication is shocking. The AGM is actually important and newsworthy to supporters. Pretty sure we all look forward to hearing the fallout from the meeting, seeing what the points limits are and the make up of the leagues and rules.

We rely on second or even third hand sources for an actual AGM date or “in the knows” on here to leak things, and none of us would have known it had even been postponed if not for Plymouth stating that fact.

Why is it all such a closely guarded secret? Would it really hurt them to publish a date for the AGM through the official channels, and update supporters on events like postponements?

Not good enough and it hasn’t been for donkeys years.

I’m not sure why people are so impatient? The league starts next April so does it really matter if the AGM is in November, December, January, February?

If the wait means the return/reopening of a couple of tracks and a television deal then it’s worth the wait? If that also allows Plymouth some more time to get their air fence fund complete so they can run then that’s another good thing.

Surely we all want as many tracks as possible running next season?

But to sign up riders rules/ points limit have to be in place and signed off at the AGM. So if you wait too long riders are unsure where they may ride, so will sign deals in Sweden / Denmark and leave the UK in the lurch, just like last year with Doyle and others.
