VOTE now or forever hold your peace. That's the message for Saints fans who only have 48 hours left to cast their votes for the shirt the team will wear for their first year in the new St Mary's stadium.

The club have been overwhelmed by the response to the poll, run via the Echo, leaflets and the club's official website. It asked fans to select their favourite top from five alternatives.

But there are fears that a few jealous Pompey fans are trying spoiling it for everyone.

Dell officials maintain that the vote will not be affected but there is only one way to be sure - cast yours before Saturday.

Saints' traditional stripes are currently in line to stay with the v-neck and white collared designs - first and second respectively - while the widely derided Monaco style shirt, allegedly boosted by Portsmouth support, has stormed into third place.
