Its only jet2 that have them now but if they use T2 they either use the older T2 gates or the pier stands on the near side that usually have wide-bodies on.

I know A321’s can and have used the stands on the far side of the pier so would have though 757’s would be ok there.

No, they can't. The stands 101-111 are ICAO 'Code C' for a maximum wingspan of 36m. B757s have a 38m span or 41m with winglets, if I remember correctly.
