You could have a Park & Ride from Park Lane to Stadium of Light

Not really any need for that, it would be quicker to walk because of the traffic caused by people walking out the ground, especially when the new footbridge is built. Most people park in the streets over that way already anyway and the traffic problems are often further out, Chester Road and Wessington Way are particularly bad.

The catch 22 is the Durham Coast Line is an absolute shambles after the match aswell which forces people into cars. Quite often they have a single Class 156 on and it's crush load by Seaton Carew heading North as it's a busy line without the football traffic added to it. It's even worse after the game. There's constantly people winging about it.

Buses sadly aren't the answer for the matches imo bar actually having enough capacity on the buses which already exist as everyone comes from everywhere so you could never serve > 30% of us at least.
