From the statement over the postponement of the AGM.

And from the rest of that statement its clear that the AGM is fairly meaningless when it comes to next year's rules.

Yet again a reactive statement put out instead of a proactive one, only put out because fans are talking about the AGM being cancelled, irrespective of what it says does it not occur to anyone running speedway to be proactive?? It really doesn’t give us much hope for the future

Am I the only one that used to look forward to the AGM to find out all the important stuff for the next season? It was the deadline for teams to declare they were running (Plymouth) it was when the points limit was set and any significant rule changes were announced.
It has become clear in recent years that the points limits, at least, have been decided in advance of the AGM. Teams have increasingly announced rider signings ahead of the AGM. Even whole teams have been announced. "Subject to approval" of course.
Now we have an official announcement stating, "The meeting, which acts as the formal conclusion of business for the current year" whatever that means followed by further clarification, "The AGM itself does not directly determine the structure of the sport for the following season as discussions regarding 2027 and beyond have been taking place for some time". So the process of control of our sport becomes further clouded in mystery. The lack of transparency is astounding. Well it would be if it hadn't been going on this way, increasingly, over a very long period of time.
