Ben said: ‘It was nice to see the fans, especially the kids. They don’t see us all the time. They just get to see us running around on a Saturday so it was nice to meet them and to see the smiles on their faces.’
Adam said: ‘It was nice to see everyone turn up today and to have a good time.’
Among the fans was 11-year-old Martin Lloyd, from Waterlooville.

Covers manager Dale Lambourne said he was pleased with the event.
He said: ‘It is the first time we’ve done something like this. The fans rarely get the opportunity to see the players unless they are waiting outside the grounds so this has been a great way for them to meet and speak to them, without having to queue for too long.’
Covers also sponsors the Sports Mail, which is produced by The News.
