STOKE CITY supporters are being offered the chance to have a final say on the choice of their new giant flag following the excellent response to a competition to design one.

A judging panel has drawn up a short-list of three finalists so that fans can now cast their votes for the best design over the next few days before it goes forward for production.

The Club invited supporters to show off their creative skills after Principal Club Partner Britannia and Official Kit Supplier adidas offered to fund the replacement of the flag.

The competition to design the new one produced a high standard of entries and a panel of representatives from Britannia, adidas, the Supporters Club and the Club were then given the task of narrowing it down to the three outstanding contenders .

These were produced by Simon Hancock, Adam Correia-Whitehouse and nine-year-old Charlie Myatt from the St John's CE Primary School in Trent Vale.

The short-list of designs from which the winner will be selected can be found below. All you have to do is select the one you prefer and send an email to supportersflagcompetition@stokecityfc.com. The closing date for votes is midnight on Monday 19th July.

The winner of the competition will receive a VIP day out at City's first home game of the new Barclays Premier League season against Tottenham Hotspur.

On that occasion, the winner will join representatives of Britannia, adidas, the Supporters Club and the Club in officially handing over the flag to supporters before the kick-off of the match against Spurs at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday 21st August.

The short-list of contenders are:

A. Simon Hancock

B. Adam Correia-Whitehouse

C. Charlie Myatt

To cast your vote, select either A, B or C and then send an email to supportersflagcompetition@stokecityfc.com before midnight on Monday 19th July.
