If everyone sets off early to beat the traffic and finds there is none, you don't have to spend all day on the lash! Visit the National Football Museum, which is housed in PNE's ground!!

Not too much around the ground unfortunately. Best bet is to come into Preston and have a couple on the way up London Road - Main A6 (past the Capitol Centre in Walton Le Dale.) You've got The Yew Tree (good for food and a decent pint), The Bridge Inn (over looking the river) or go past the ground towards Preston Barracks and park around the Barracks. You have a couple of good options up there and safer parking (Deepdale can be dodgy on some of the side streets!)

Thanks for the tip. Spent a couple of hours in the Yew Tree. Decent mixed grill but chips not up to much! Couple of the lads took a shine to one of the barmaids too......
