What is the main focus of the podcast episode featuring Fortuna Sittard?
Hey, who's driving? I've only drunk four. Where are we going now? What do you think we're doing here? Bus, taxi or a clear ride? Well, of course. Obviously. Difficult situation. Easy solution. Only clear to the wheel. Transport safety. LΓ€hiTapiola samalla puolella. Hi, welcome back to That Mill podcast. This is a special episode to a degree. Obviously, the pre-season friendlies got announced this week and we've obviously got the usual suspects or the semi-usual suspects of the local teams or teams that where we have some form of history connected to him. But this year is slightly different, or this pre-season is slightly different. We have an international visitor coming to the Den at the end of July, and it is Zion Fleming's ex-club.
I think it's Fortu Sittard, who is obviously in the Dutch leagues and... and someone who's obviously we know through Zeon Fleming. Anyway, we are lucky enough to be joined by a, um, a ZM Fleming, no, uh, a fortuita, is it a fortuita, um, fan channel, uh, uh, guy called, uh, and I hopefully get this pronounced right. Uh, it's yellow. Oh, yellow, yellow. And, um, And yeah, welcome to the show, fella. How are you doing? You alright? Yeah, I'm doing alright, mate. I only want to say, it's not yellow, the colour, but yellow. Yellow. Yeah, more Dutch. But I'm very happy to join your podcast. No, no, it's great. I mean, we've been obviously talking on DMs and stuff and it was just some of the conversations we were having were fairly interesting and I just thought that it would be ideal to give a bit of an insight to some of our fans because... And we're going to the transfer of the players and whatnot a little bit on in the podcast because obviously there's been loads of conversations for us...
being related or being connected to quite a few Dutch players who, you know, we know nothing about and hopefully you'll be able to give us that. But when we were talking on the DMs, there was an interesting topic what we were talking about, which obviously I didn't know and probably a lot of Millwall fans didn't know. But A lot of Dutch fans seem to really resonate with Millwall, seem to really like and sort of have a secret club love for Millwall. Yeah, I think I can confirm that. I went to Millwall when they played against Sunderland. It was a special match. I don't know, Memorial Day? Is that possible? Yeah, remembrance day. Yeah, I went there and it was crazy. I just fell in love with English football.
Kick and rush to the best. I always heard about it, but never saw it in real life. And I saw Zion again. It was perfect. The game ended in a draw. It was not quite the best performance. Jay Cooper scored, I remembered. But I was in a darker stand. Above me is like the guys that make real noise, if you get me. And the away stand was literally perfect. I don't know how many Sunderland fans there were, but they get their own stand? Is that right? Yes. Yeah, they do at Millwall. They get what we class as the North Stand, which is basically opposite the home end. And yeah, they pretty much get the whole stand. So they'll either get the upper tier or depending what team it is and the risk level and everything else, they could potentially get both tiers, which could be anything up to 3,000, 4,000 fans there.
But normally... We probably do about, there's normally about 2,000 fans. So how does it work in Holland? Are you just all mixed into one, or is there segregation, but you're all on the same stand? No, in Holland, they are crazy with away fans. To be fair, it was quite relaxed. You get not stands, you get a small area in a stand.
How did Zion Fleming's transfer impact Fortuna Sittard?
For example, with us, you have the south stand, and the other side is Fernando Rex's side, the loud guys. But we have, I don't know how to say it in English, but they get separated on their own stands, and left you have the away guys, and right is the home guys. And yeah, I don't know how they get it in Milwa, like maybe they go to train, but with us, sometimes you can get with your own car, but mostly you have to go with buses, so they can identify you and make... Yeah, it's really, they treat you like a criminal, like, yeah, it was better in the old days, but...
