Fawlty Towers Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 You will remember a couple of seasons ago that Partick Thistle won a text competition run by Irn-Bru which saw us win £7,000 towards youth development. Irn-Bru are now running a competition which could see us win £10,000 towards this vitally important area if we collect the most bottle caps! Given the importance of this area to our club and the fact that we can already see,through the likes of MacBeth, Bannigan, Fraser & Campbell, that our system is producing good results at the moment with its limited resources then £10,000 would be very welcome. A link is attached and for those of you who do that sort of thing I would be very grateful if you could post it on Facebook pages, twitter, etc. I will contact the Club (although I am sure that they will be aware of it) and hopefully we can make a big push on this and win the top prize again! I am now away to buy some Irn-Bru bottles (and book an appointment with the dentist). http://www.irn-bru.co.uk/tfyt/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawlty Towers Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I heard it advertised on the radio today I thought the prize for the text message thing last time was alot more than 7 grand? I think the overall prize fund was about £70,000 but I think I am right that we won the top prize which was £7,000 - would be great to win £10,000 this time though!

Pie Of The Month Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Is there going to be somewhere at Firhill you can drop in the bottle tops? There'll be plenty of fans who want to get involved who live nowhere near the 2 drop off points and are only in the area when we play at home. I'm afraid I can't help much, I must be the only Scottish person who doesn't drink Irn Bru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinny Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 If only I'd heard of this two months ago. My uni were doing sensory tests on Irn Bru and would have gone through hundreds and hundreds of bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottle tops can be handed into Firhill office during office hours or we will be contacting local businesses, community centre etc tmro and giving them thistle bottle bins so you can also drop outside of ground. We will have details of all drop off points on club website when confirmed. The Club were delighted about this when approached last month as we know we have a great chance of winning this with you guys!!! I've got flyers and posters please drops an email [email protected] if you want any for your local shops- we'll have them up around maryhill and west end asap!! Any tops from diet or full fat bru count- wee bottles, 500mls or 2lt! Thanks and get drinking :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldinho Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Doesn't stop one from collecting them from friends, relations,workmates, etc. It says on the Irn Bru page that they'll accept other Barr's bottle tops too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Just to confirm that it is any plastic bottle caps from Barr's drinks (irn-bru, diet irn-bru, etc). On checking the competition website the pick up points away from the stadium are: Cadder Supermarket in Skirsa St & News Depot (1522 Maryhill Rd) Edited February 5, 2011 by Fawlty Towers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry should have made that clear - those are the ones that are specific to the Jags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 With the working week just a few hours away just a reminder to keep the plastic bottle tops from the irn-bru bottles you have on the way to work, at your desk, on your way home or that you can beg, borrow or steal from your friends/colleagues. As there will be buses running to the game on Tuesday can those travelling on them please keep their bottle tops to bring to the Falkirk game (I am sure that it will just be soft drinks that are consumed).

Vom Itorium Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Anyone with Jags fan kids remember and tell them to get all the bottle tops they can from their wee pals at school. Also it may be worth folk keeping an eye out for any good deals on Irn Bru anywhere and posting it on the forum so people can snap up some cheap Bru and get the tops.

Armand2 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 What I've been doing is, instead of buying a 2L bottle of Diet Bru, I'm buying the 6 packs of Wee Bru's. Same amount of juice (well, nearly) but 5 extra caps. What have I become? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
