Big risk moving from Saturdays...

I presume they would need some financial support from the rest to change nights (again)...

Unless of course, a TV deal is in the offing providing £100k or so...

Could they bring Brady, Rasmus and Jack back as their top 3?

It was more tongue in cheek, Phil. 

Can't see either him or Jack going anywhere other than where they currently are.

Personally if I was them I wouldn't do it, its not that long ago they were hanging on themselves they now seem to have steadied the ship and are making progress would be mad to risk it all financially by moving up. The dream (it won't happen) would be if Cradley were back next season with Tolley ready to chuck £100-£200k at it.

Chris and Jack Holder have said they would come back to Poole if we move back up.

Honestly Poole does make a lot of sense. With the new Poland + 1 league rule coming in there is no reason that we can't race on Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) in the Premiership. So there is no fear of switching days and they have increased their attendances recently.

The question is how much more do they need to charge to balance the books if the Holders want to come back there? Also, it seems the management are not interested.

I wouldnt say the management aren't completely disinterested. Bearing in mind I am going off interviews they have done separately, I would say Danny Ford has no interest in Poole being in the Prem. However I would say Matt is a bit more 50/50. He did say needs to be Weds and tv deal. 

Prem clubs saying they lose money doesnt help sell the idea! Although the Championship having a low points limit may push Poole up. Sure there is a points limit that will be a deal breaker for them and possibly Glasgow.

I was under the impression that Ekstraliga riders could only compete in 3 leagues (including Poland) prior to 2027 anyway. Surely that new rule would just be exactly what we already have?

And we all know the pressure the DMU put on their riders to ride in the domestic league.

If its Poland, Sweden and one other write off any Danes appearing in the UK unless they race on an ACU licence which I think means the Premiership is in a stronger position that it has been for a number of years.

The operating model they should have followed for years is pretty much being written for them.

Let us hope they don't "eff it up"..

It depends on which league in Poland you will ride for. Ekstraliga and M.2 will be only ones that hold the one other league rule. The Krajowa liga will still allow riding in multiple other leagues.
