   The biggest surprise of that article, is it exists.It was on a BBC web page.
Written by a Look East person,
Refers to Ampthill, Bedford and Cambridge.
Listen to 3CR or watch Look East the coverage of these clubs is scant.Cambridge get a slightly better coverage being a single county radio station.

If the media do not care, the RFU will do what it likes, for the ‘health and well-being’ of the game. 
Tier 2 will be 14 franchises.
Playing 8 more league games than tier 1. Which should balance against European weekends.
Somehow despite 12 tier 2 clubs currently, three Phoenix brands will be included. London Irish, wasps and Worcester. 
Then early next year in a desperate Sweeny move Rugby Europe will announce franchises in its Super Rugby in Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands have been accepted into Englands tier 2. The seven remaining slots will be allocated by impressing the judges on MasterChef.
Simultaneously Italys top league will include teams from Georgia, Romania, Czech Republic and Germany.
