Any Facebook experts or (non-users) out there?

This is a public site. Lets see if non facebook members can access it.

I saw the page then this popped up:
See more of Walking football farnborough by logging into Facebook
But was able to view the page ok

But what does 'public' mean in the Facebook world? My wife is a member of a private group that she had to be invited to join. If it were a public group then I'm guessing any other FB user could see it regardless - but can non-FB users access it? I think that's the question the OP was asking.

The original idea was to set up a Group that was visible to "everyone", but where only members could post. In the FB world, "everyone" or "public" just means logged-in FB users - so, yes, that's what I was trying to confirm. It will probably now be a group rather than a page.

I understand FB wanting people to sign-up, but a lot of small businesses use it, and it seems like overkill to block non-users trying to view pages. Let them see the page and FB's adverts!

That's your answer then." Walking Football Truro" as a Group, then most people would Google to find a local game and Bob's your relative etc.

Yep, and I can get it linked to our entry on http://www.walkingfootballunited.co.uk/ - there are a LOT more clubs in Sussex!

best find out what sites your target audience use, and link from there.... or cover all bases, and set up feeders on instagram, pinterest, linkedin etc..

Ok, I can see the page, but there's a big banner hiding the bottom 3rd of the screen saying "See more by signing up to Facebook" I can see your in Farnborough though.

Like brovion said.

I had a personal FB page I deleted recently and also have a business FB page. I get notifications on twitter when we make a post on the business page and when I click the link it takes me to the FB sign up page initially. As I no longer have a personal FB login I just bypass this and get to see the post on the business FB page.

So the answer to the original question is yes

Facebook village.

Billions of people spend a lot of time living their lives on Facebook's social network. Now Facebook wants to try its hand at creating a community in the real world.
The internet giant wants to build housing, retail stores, a hotel and more at its corporate headquarters — in short, Facebook wants to build its own town.

Could you imagine an NSC village, where you'd bump into fellow NSCites'
You could actually ignore them or give them a
For a Palarse troll, you could say morning

Or even if any of the MOD police passed you by.......
Well I'll leave that up to you
