As the stadium is located on the Pride Park industrial/commercial estate (hence the name of the stadium. Not due to any delusions of grandeur) there are plenty of units that open up on match days and offer parking (£5 or £6 the last time I used one). Sorry, there are probably too many to mention any specific ones. Two words of warning though: It does get very congested so naturally, the nearer the ground you park, the longer it takes to get away. Some of the roads very close to the ground are closed to traffic until something like 5:30 (maybe a little later I’m not sure). I think coaches and mini buses maybe let out of the official car park under escort earlier than cars parking at the ground but even these are probably held until most of the pedestrians traffic has cleared.

Think Derek went to park the bus, but left the back door open.

Thanks Tamworth Ram. Ended up parking at the away pub. Very impressed with Derby on and off the park. Too good for this league but looks like you'll have to take your chances in the playoffs
