Advice needed :/
OK this is a dead serious thread.
I work for a charity that helps children, basically a youth club for the deprived kid.
I have the chance to claim approx £2000 for vouchers to away games that I wont use to watch a football team.
The guy offering the (desperately needed) money is not allowed to home games and is a major hooligan.
Should I accept the money, or cut off my nose?

Tell him to meet you in a out of the way location, and when you see him stab a fork in his eye.

Can the vouchers be traced back to you?
If not, then if you don't sell out, someone else will.
So claim the two grand!

Major Hooligan , but loyal fan.
Sell em , as long as youre CERTAIN theres no comeback, and the tickets/vouchers wont be traced back to you.
He wont get into games at Forest , Sheffield , Millwall , and a few others anyway.

Wrong place to come.
Take the cash , make sure the charity has funding for a bit longer. Most inner city charities i know of dont make it beyond the first few years , so every penny counts.

Deprived kids are more important than any game of football. Should he misbehave at a game, there will be people to deal with him anyway before he does something excessively stupid.
I'd take the £2000, and let him take the risks upon himself.
As a sidenote: Are you allowed to sell your vouchers like that btw? Will it affect your season ticket if they get found out?

Vouchers have a book number, mine is 00057, meaning i am the 57th person to buy a ticket, so yes, i can be caught.
I guess the question is, is helping deprived kids more important than watching football.
And tbh football comes first for me.
