Same here, first time I've not been on a coach. Been told to find a pub called 'The Sumner' who'll charge £3 and is away fan friendly, 5-10 min walk away. And also close by on street parking isn't a problem, and free. Enjoy your (sober) day.
Pub called moorbrook , with a old b and q behind it , we parked there last year . Decent pub and ten min walk through park to the ground
the moorbrook pub with a closed down b and q behind it was a good place to park for preston last year . Ten min walk to ground through park
I usually park in the school more or less next to the ground, easy out on the road after the game. Haven't been since boxing day a few years back tho
