Ahead of Tuesday's Sky Bet League 1 tie against Preston North End at The Lamex Stadium (7.45pm), here is all the essential information you need in our Preston Match Pack:

Tickets
This is a Category A game so match day prices range from FREE to £20 in the terraces and from £9 to £24 in the seats. Click here to see all the match day prices. Remember if you buy in advance online or in person (by 4pm the day prior to a game) you can save money by buying at ‘in advance’ prices.
 
Parking
Free match day parking for 500 cars is available to fans at Fairlands Valley car park to the north of the ground. Parking is available in nearby residential streets but we ask fans to be considerate with their parking and not to block driveways and cause inconvenience for local residents

Please do not park on the grass verges alongside the A602 as your vehicle is likely to be ticketed by the local authorities. Please also do not park in the adjacent Roaring Meg retail park. New parking rules imposed last year by the Roaring Meg management restrict parking to 90 minutes on a match day, which come in to effect two hours before kick-off. Anyone exceeding this time limit could face a £100 fine. 

Pre-Match Food & Drink
The Broadhall Suite is the perfect place to relax and enjoy bar snacks, food and drink on a match day. Located in the south-east corner of the ground, just past the away turnstiles, it's easily accessible for all supporters. There's a great atmosphere as well as Sky Sports on the TVs. Doors open at 5pm on Tuesday night.

A cloudy day will pass to leave sunny intervals in Stevenage during late afternoon. Come kick-off at 7.45pm the skies are expected to be clear, with temperatures around 7 degrees.
