Brickies

Sittingbourne FC fans, staff and players have been left "devastated" this morning (Tuesday 16th July) following the sad news that long term Director Peter Pitts has died following a short illness.

SFM listeners will know Peter as "the voice of The Brickies" since we begun our full time transmissions in July 2012 and has been laterly joined by Mike Green in the role.

Peter joined Sittingbourne Football Club way back in the late 90's along with his twin brother, John, to assist the then Chairman, Andy Spice, to help rescue the club after it went into administration.

Sittingbourne FC and Borden Village FC have announced a formal link between the two clubs going forward.

The two club committees say they have been discussing the tie up for sometime and following changes at Borden Village felt that the time was now right to join forces. The tie up has begun with Sittingbourne FC helping Borden finalise a strong management team that will now include names familiar to stalwart Brickies fans.
