I have a soft spot for the Glory... have been happy to see them pushing through the finals. However, don't find their playing style very entertaining. I do like their club culture though!
We (the fans) can't stand it either. Only the families and that enjoy it, because its a song to sing along to that sounds cheery and whatnot. However, just a plastic gimmick.
A lot of us do find the name Victory quite plastic too, however it has grown on many of us. It also ties in with us...
Alright, thanks for the welcomes. I have much more videos now.
This one is of Ashley Barnes's goal:

A free kick by the Albion...
Well Melbourne (I think) has been rated one of the most liveable cities in the world.
As far as crime goes... I dunno, it's very dodgy in the city late at night. People may have heard of racist attacks on Indian students, etc.
I couldn't give an opinion because I don't really know the crime rate...
You might find this interesting.
I play in the Eastern Lions Soccer Club U16s (yes I know, the "S word") and my coach has a son who plays football in England.
I told him about how I went to the game at Withdean, and he told me that his son got a call from Brighton & Hove Albion! Apparently it...
Another video, of two corners by the Seagulls and a goal kick by the Dagenham GK. Listen to the shout at the end... :D

I can see how that would piss you off, but different people have loads of experiences with different clubs, and that hasn't been my experience.
One thing not uncommon here is that I hate Crystal Palace. That is mainly because of my Uncle getting a brick in the face by one of their supporters...
Yes, well at least take solace in the fact I don't go for a top 4 team :D
[EDIT: By top 4, I mean Liverpool Arsenal Chelsea and Man Ure. It would've been a bit hypocritical of me seeing as Spurs are fighting for 4th spot]
In a lot of cases yes, but I've known Tottenham since 2001, when I first got in to football.
Same year I got the Albion centenary jersey, if it makes you happy.
