I live in Cheltenham, and only a few miles from Stroud. You certainly won’t have far to go to see Notts play at Forest Green Rovers. I seem to recall an Evesham Pie as well.
Swindon "Swindump" [copyright Bristol Rovers] is close by as well, and it's not far to Newport (South Wales).
I know the area a bit as I used to drive frequently between Nottingham and Bath down the old A46. Slow but very scenic!
