Video transcript

I used to be on the football team called Saint Frances and it was a mixed team. I enjoyed it but I had to get up early on Saturdays and Sundays.    I used to go with my sister to see the Hartlepool United football team, I always used to see Angus the Monkey who is the team mascot. The atmosphere was good when they scored, Angus always used to run on the pitch and shake everyone’s hand and cheer.   I seen loads of new friends and I was hanging about with them and there were people shouting and swearing, spitting and I didn't like it because it was really rude and annoying but when they scored I stood up and cheered for them. They had music playing in the background when they scored and it was quite fun.   When the game finished all the footballers came onto the pitch and stood in a row, for the commentator to say out there names. Everyone was cheering and clapping for them. I got a photo taken with Angus but when all the people started to go home they were pushing to get out the football ground and someone could of got hurt. The security man came. He told them all to stop pushing and go home quietly. I enjoyed watching football because I like it when they score, it makes me happy.
