SWINDON chairman Terry Brady is facing a fine for illegally parking his helicopter on the County Ground extension.
The printing tycoon, who took over at the County Ground in the summer, could face charges from Swindon Borough Council.
Mr Brady landed his chopper on land at the back of the County Ground last month (September) as he visited the club for a series of management meetings.
However, a local resident complained to the council and a stern warning letter has arrived on Mr Brady's doormat.
"I thought it would be OK to land the helicopter on the land behind the ground, but someone complained and I look set to be fined by the local council," he said. "I should be OK to land there in the future, as long as we put up a rope around the landing area."
He will be using four wheels instead of blades when he drives up to Oldham on Saturday.
"I am looking forward to the game," he said. "Things are going well on and off the field and I hope we can keep improving."
