Coca-Cola have provided TWTD readers with the chance to win two tickets to Town's home game with Plymouth on Saturday, 31st March. The soft drinks giant is currently running its annual Buy a Player scheme which could see Town chairman David Sheepshanks dye his hair blue and flip burgers.
Promotional packs of Coca-Cola and Coke Zero have a code on the label which can be registered on the Buy a Player website or via text (number 80094 - normal network charges apply).
One in every two codes will reveal prizes worth £10 million, ranging from 50p to £100,000. Fans that win a £100,000 prize for their club or £10,000 for themselves. Most prizes will be at lower levels but as fans register their codes, the pot grows with the club given the total in the pot at the end of the promotion. If all codes are redeemed, Coca-Cola will have given £10 million to Football League and SPL clubs.
So far, Ipswich Town fans have raised for the club via the Buy a Player promotion.
Football League and SPL clubs are backing the promotion in a variety of ways. Chairmen and managers have made pledges to encourage their fans to raise money. Town's David Sheepshanks has promised to dye his hair blue and white and serve burgers behind the North Stand if Town fans manage to raise more than £100,000.
Each week the fan who has raised the most money for each club will be labelled a Superfan and will be rewarded with Town's prizes including Coca-Cola branded mountain bikes, MP3 players, Colchester Zoo and Pleasurewood Hills tickets, match tickets as well as an overall Superfan prize — being given a squad number for next season, having their picture taken with the squad at the official photocall and enjoying a unique behind the scenes match day experience.
To win the tickets to the Plymouth game, answer the following question: When the Blues signed Paul Mariner from the Pilgrims in October 1976, which two players moved in the opposite direction? Send your answers to cokequiz@twtd.co.uk before March 23rd.
The answer to the question in the QPR directors' box competition was Georges Santos. The former Cape Verde Islands international central defender was the Town player who left Portman Road for Loftus Road in July 2004. The randomly picked winner of the two directors' box tickets, courtesy of Coca-Cola, was Scott Fillbrook from Felixstowe.
