Who are “they”?
The minority premiership promoters or the majority of the Championship? 
So long as it’s the former nothing for the new guys to be worried about is there?
However, if as you say a Championship promotion has offered help, is that for Cradley to become a Championship or premiership club? 

They are the current premier,they are so desperate they have been ringing round trying to find a 6th team ,the help from a championship promoter is getting the track itself up and running, nothing to do with what league they would race in, that situation is so far down the line, they still need planning permission

Even with a cobbled together  "Premier" league, with no TV sponsorship, budgets for team building will be very different from 2025.

Looking at the bigger picture Dean, if the hand is forced and we go one league could retired British riders be persuaded to race again if wages were competitive and costs kept down? Or is that wishful thinking?

Great shame that “they” are not the collective British speedway promoters working together for the  future of the sport.
