You know what, you're probably right, and if I'd known what a hostile and aggressive bunch of people football fans are I would probably have explained it a bit better. But coming to a forum like this was the suggestion of a genuine Spurs fan, so I was not really expecting it to be such a controversial issue, and I was getting grief from my wife for being on the laptop while eating dinner, so I rushed it. I hardly think that qualifies me for the kind of abuse I've got here.
this thread should be moved into the classics :baelol:
He hasn't shown us his tits yet
why not?Why?
I'd guess he entered a raffle, from which the proceeds from the ticket sales went to charity. The prizes are the winners, and they can do with them what they wish. The OP seems to have decided he'd rather sell the tickets and take the cash rather than use them. Fair enough if he isn't a football fan, though I feel he should donate a percentage of the money to the charity himself.So, does he or the charity own the tickets right now? If he won them, then is he going to donate the proceeds? Just seems odd.

The thing is that he's not even said the money is for charity. What he said was that he won them at a charity event. Nowhere does he state that he'll be donating the raised funds to a charity.
I presume she won them in a raffle (who would win an auction for something they don't want).....
isn't the accepted norm to put immediately put prizes back into the draw if you don't want them?
