Staying out of town
As an alternative to the actual town staging the match, look at other nearby towns with hotels near to their main train station. You can tell from the symbol of the train next to the hotel listing how near the hotel is to a station.
Late trains
In the lists below we have looked for towns that are (a) not more than 60 minutes away from each of England's actual / potential venues, (b) are served by late trains and (c) have hotels within 1 mile of the station.
