Video transcript

I went to the Hartlepool United football match with my friend Luke. Luke is in a wheelchair so we couldn't go into the normal stands. I didn't mind though because I was able to be closer to the pitch with Luke.

I like going to the football because you get to see Angus the Monkey, which is the club's mascot. Angus always does funny things to make you laugh, he runs about, jumping on the ground. When the team scores he jumps on the players.

When half-time arrives I always go and get something to eat before the match starts again. All the matches I have been to have lost. It's so unfair I still have fun though and always look forward to going again.
