I think Lewi rode a few seasons back after 2-3 weeks after having it plated. It depends on their pain threshold i guess. I'd take 2 off of Ben's score myself, for 42. Hope i'm wrong I heard that he already had the collarbone in question plated and as part of the crash dislodged it. Don’t know if that complicates the surgery/recovery time… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if that complicates the surgery/recovery time… His operation is booked for Monday. It’s not a simple repair as he has had his collarbone plated previously and it’s broken right next to that. A bigger plate isn’t an option. looking to be out for between 4-6 weeks.

But surely then he would be more keen for riders to be ‘injured’/unavailable for away meetings and user cheaper guests? we’ve had 4 away meetings, 5th to come on Monday and 2 home meetings. The riders still need to be paid for away meetings, regardless of whether we’re generating income from home meetings. Apparently there were 1400 people at the opening home meeting against BV and 1000 at the last one against BB… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he's worried about crowd levels dropping if we are not winning at home, which is a money thing. 5 hours ago, StarBoy said: But surely then he would be more keen for riders to be ‘injured’/unavailable for away meetings and user cheaper guests? we’ve had 4 away meetings, 5th to come on Monday and 2 home meetings.

Apparently there were 1400 people at the opening home meeting against BV and 1000 at the last one against BB… Your first point would help obviously. But his income comes from those home meetings, as we know. Loose some home meetings and the crowds will dwindle. 1400 against BV, First meeting and a decent team i know, but we lost. Next meeting, Birmingham, not as good a team, but one we should win, and you get 1000. We couldn't afford to to loose the next home one( Leicester,) which was looking likely, with 2 key riders missing imho. I'm only guessing, and in no way saying it's right, but that's how i see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, he’s the one who has to deal with the short term cash-flow challenge but he simply cannot be allowed to be the tail that wags the dog. The BSPA need to hit him where it hurts the most which is a financial penalty (fine or fixture awarded to Lions) and be informed clearly that such similar actions will not be tolerated in the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fine... Until he decides he doesnt want to play anymore and takes both his bat and his ball home.. Then panic sets in...

Then panic sets in... Should be of no surprise if he has already implied that type of threat in the belief that UK speedway cannot do without him. However, in todays climate and profile of speedway promoters and officials, it most certainly can. So if Chapman does want to take his bat and ball home so be it. Put simply, one person is nowhere near being bigger than the sport and as such Chapman cannot be allowed to hold any part of it to ransom.
