After checking out how many police turned up to keep everyone in control at Torquay vs Exeter, fans took to criticise for how much of them were present, some of those tagging Devon and Cornwall police Twitter account…
Looks like overkill and football club will be charged for extra policing

@DC_Police Why was there so much inadequate organisation at yesterday’s Torquay v Exeter game. You didn’t allow Torquay fans to go up the lane by the ground, but you were happy for us to walk against the Exeter crowd coming down Cary Park Road – causing a potential flashpoint.

Why on earth have @DC_Police sent the riot squad for a pre season game? Hahahaha #ecfc #tufc

Rachel Shephard: How sad! Waste of precious resources! Riot vans and high police presence in Torquay, for a minority of people who can’t control themselves in the name of a game of football ! Yet are they vilified along the same vitriolic lines as the homeless or people struggling with addictions????? #waste #perception
Cat Coldridge: Wondered what that was about, there were loads of them by the arcades. Never seen so many police cars except in an soap opera!
Matthew Edwards: Police are a joke at football games, real waste of money and more often than not abusive of power, heavy handed and quick to instigate violence
Simon Baker (Plymouth fan): Animals that’s why… Didn’t see any police for our game there.
Lee O’riley (Plymouth fan): They got to have that many police cause exeter like to take liberties at Torquay ,unlike there usual no show at home park ?
Roger Bowden (Plymouth fan): I don’t think so Lee it’s because the Torquay fans chase them all around The town lol
