Cardiff City have very kindly taken over and closed down the facebook page that I have been running for over 3 years and spent many hours on. Guess they didn't like the competition of over 27k followers

The only thing I got was this email, by which stage it had already been done:

Hi Jon,
Facebook gives people the ability to claim a Page if it represents a business that they can prove an official connection to.
You have been the admin for Cardiff City FC but now that Page has been claimed by someone who has demonstrated that they are authorized to represent it.
If you have additional questions about why you have been removed as an admin, learn more about claiming a Page here:

Thanks,
The Facebook Team

Tan has a huge stake in Facebook remember !

I'm sure they know the rules of how it works and you were obviously in the wrong somewhere along the line .
If Someone was using my company name over social networking sites I wouldn't be too happy either tbh

I know this might sound harsh as you put alot of time into it but its only a facebook page. I can't blame them, we are now in the premier league where there is a higher media attention and I guess they would rather keep things linked to them in order. Its a bit sad having a pop at the club over this. Just start a fan page or something :ayatollah:

I now realise with hindsight that it was probably wrong, but I was given no warning or opportunity to clarify/change. Never mind fan site it is ;)

Reminds me when someone pretended to be Cristiano Ronaldo, posted so many photos of him etc, acted like him, posted what he done etc, had loads of followers/likes and ended up losing it all. Hope you're ok Jon :ayatollah:

Never mind new page set up as a cause rather than business and also clearly says 'Fans' ;)

Oh well, start rebuilding from 0, 27,000 is a long way to go!

Looks like the Cardiff City facebook page issues were unintentionally caused by the club. I have been advised they will be restored within 24 hours :ayatollah:

Come on Jon you were never neutral, quite often you would bring up the Rebrand and how against you are.
