THE BRICKIES ARE BUILDING A NEW BOND

THE term ‘football family’ is commonly bandied about, but an unlikely link-up between Sittingbourne and a professional Danish club proves it really does exist.

The partnership was the brainchild of Sittingbourne FC Supporters’ Club chairman Mark Chapman.

The 45-year-old has lived in Copenhagen for the last 14 years and wondered if bringing the Brickies together with his local team in Denmark, Fremad Amager, would be possible a couple of years ago.

“At first I thought it could be a bit of a challenge – no-one knows Sittingbourne FC in Denmark and no-one knows of Fremad Amager in England,” he said.
