I’ve just looked on Your Parking Space and you can park at Wickes for £3. It’s a 0.8 of a mile walk away.

I've booked a space at The Holiday Inn for £8. Apparently it's bad to get away after with it being quite close to the stadium but it is opposite the Harvester pub and I think that is one of the designated away pubs.

Left it too late to buy tickets before took off sale. I assume cannot buy from the ground on the night?

Cheers.

Turns out the answer is no, confirmed by the ticket office.

How did anyone pre book parking? Been looking on your parking space and won't let me book harvester or Wickes. Thank you

Maybe they are full now - I had similar at Preston trying to get a booking although thankfully it wasn't needed.

Does anyone know what the away pubs are likely to be?

I was also parked on there. Took me 30 minutes to get going. I drove down through Glossop, Buxton and Ashbourne. Nice drive in the sun but got stuck behind a tractor and trailer which slowed it right down.
Decided to go back that way. Empty roads mostly just the odd car here and there and was back home in Padiham at 00.30 despite being stuck in the traffic near the ground.

I parked at the Premier Inn about a mile away. Bit of a walk, but got straight onto the A52, which was perfect for a Leeds-based claret.
