It is more than highly likely that Exeter's S.A.G and Torquay's S.A.G are made up from entirely different set of people, one S.A.G appears to be a little less over zealous and chilled than the other, write to police by all means, don't think they're going be to interested.
It is the S.A.G. that makes the decision, but I had always understood that making games all ticket was a decision largely made on Police advice. I may be wrong?
We are supposed to be a democracy and should not just accept that these little Hitlers can mess with our lives for their own bureaucratic reasons. These are publicly funded bodies made up of public sector employees and they should be held to account if they are behaving in an unreasonable manner.
If the Police Commissioner is not interested then I will complain to the Ombudsman. Somebody has to stand up to this bollocks, even if they get nowhere. I am surprised that the local press aren't taking an interest. As you say, it is the Local Authority that issues the safety certificate, last time I looked this was a public body.
