ETHAN SNOW will experience the thrill of being a mascot at Stoke City's Premier League clash with champions Chelsea next season . . . after winning the first of the fabulous prizes on offer for the home kit launch for the 2010-11 season.

The 12-year-old from Biddulph Moor was picked out in the prize draw from people who made purchases of the adidas shirt at the three Club Stores on the opening day, and it's the second time that he has emerged as the winner of a special prize.

Snow, whose two brothers and one sister also follow the fortunes of the Potters, will get the opportunity to walk out with his City heroes on the big occasion when they face Chelsea in the Premier League at the Britannia Stadium next season.

"He must be blessed with good luck because it's the second time he's won something from Stoke City," revealed his mother Elizabeth. "He won a signed shirt three years ago, and he'll be thrilled with this because it will be a wonderful experience.

"He's a fanatical Stoke supporter, as is his younger sister Amy. Indeed, the main purpose of our visit to the Club Store in Hanley was to allow Amy to buy her first Stoke City strip with money she had saved up from Christmas and birthday presents."

As well as having an older brother Jacob, who is 13 years old, Ethan has a twin brother and sister with Ezra and Amy both nine years old.

"Ethan and Amy are the big Stoke fans in the family, while Jacob and Ezra tend to flip from Stoke to other clubs from time to time," she added.

More prizes are on offer for those making purchases of the new home kit today and tomorrow, with the draw being made for these on Monday.

There are adidas World Cup football boots and balls up for grabs on Friday and then an opportunity to join the Club's media team for the visit of Liverpool in the Premier League to the Britannia Stadium during the 2010-11 season.

These special prizes will be chosen in a draw from those who make purchases at the three Club Stores on those particular days.
