I'll start with the Pubs:
If you walk from the Town or Station to the ground you will pass only 4 pubs & I know 2 will only admit home fans I doubt the other 2 will let away fans in either.
Away fans tend to use the pubs further past the ground on Sheffield Road like The Derby Tup (Real Ale Pub) but to be honest they are not too exciting and you are starting to walk a distance away from the ground.
You should not have any problems in the Town Centre Pubs, there are 2 Wetherspoons, the nearest to the station is The Spa Lane Vaults (near The Crooked Spire), the other is The Portland Hotel (in The Market Square) here you will also find The Market Inn (Real Ale Pub). Another real ale pub The Rutland is right beside the Crooked Spire & 5 minutes from the station & it is from outside here that buses run to the ground along Sheffield Road.
You can also drink in the ground in the concourse, and watch the match at the same time on TV!

Parking:
The new ground is situated in an area of Town called Whittington Moor, it is in a busy built up area and there is no street parking next to the ground.
You can park 10 minutes walk away on streets in the estates behind the Asda store or behind the park opposite the main entrance to the ground.
However there is one of the countrys largest Tesco stores right at the side of the ground and you can park here free of charge for 3 hours.

Just in case you didn't know, The Dronfield Arms is in Dronfield (half way between Chesterfield & Sheffield) about 5 miles from The b2net.

Next stop on from Chesterfield. A 6 or 7 minute drive to the new stadium. 6 cask ales starting from £2 a pint.

Food:
I am not sure if the away pubs serve food, but Whittington Moor has a good number of chip shops and cafes/snack bars, and there is also a restaurant in Tescos (at side of ground) and also a Greggs in there.

Could be a plan Steve, but I don't think they let you break your journey do they?
