– albeit then known as Sittingbourne United. In 1886 the team formed again, becoming Sittingbourne Football Club. The club has had many successes and difficulties along the way – first of all playing at the Bull Ground, then moving to Central Park in 1990. In this season the club became the Winstonlead Kent League Champions, remaining unbeaten within their own respective league. This was a European record as the only senior football club in Europe to remain unbeaten within their own respective league. An attendance record of 5,951 spectators watched a friendly with Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday January 26th, 1993. In 1993 the BBC described Sittingbourne as ‘the Manchester United of Non-league football. However unfortunately financial problems behind the scenes resulted in uncertainty and the club had to move next door to Bourne Park. This proved to still be costly and in the season 2012 / 2013 Sittingbourne then found a new chairman Maurice Dunk and a new home Woodstock Park – where we are today. We have a total of 21 teams across a mix of men’s, youth and ladies’ football. We are keen to bring the good times to Sittingbourne.
