April is getting near the end of the football season, there might not be a lot of choice of matches. Anything in the upper two leagues is likely to be either sold out or meaningless, so why not try one of the many lower and minor league clubs? Basingstoke Town in one of the Conference leagues, or the splendidly named Swindon Supermarine in the equally wonderfully named Evo-Stik League.. it won't cost so much to get in either.

3-4 hours from London probably won't get you to Bath except by train - which is affordable if you book well in advance, but you daren't miss it so be well prepared. Roman baths, Georgian city, set in lovely countryside.

Silchester- Calleva Atrebatum- is well within striking distance though. And it's just by Reading and Basingstoke.
