Look at my thread in Tickets and Travel. I've been running it for 3 years!

Parking at the Mcdonalds is what we usually do. Go for a pint or 2 after and wait for everything to settle down with traffic then head back

The last time I went to the SOL by car (2 seasons ago) the Multi Storey near the ground is free on Sundays so I guess it will also be free on public holidays. I've parked there in the past and it's as good as anywhere else to get away from, but only a 10 minute walk from the stadium. It's worth checking out.

If thats the one over the road on the retail park, you may have a job parking there now, as Tesco are building a new supermarket & its one giant building site currently.
There's a new car on the old vaux site, which is a few minutes walk away
....and for those calling the place a shithole, there was a reason 'Shameless' was set in Manchester ;-)
Hi lads.
There is the park and ride which has been mentioned by another poster. Personally I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole as unless you leave early you can end up waiting for a long time to get a bus (once took me an hour!!).
Another option is St Mary's car park, and I would recommend this. It's about a ten to 15 minute walk to the ground from there. It's just on the south side of the river, and on boxing day I believe it's a £1 for unlimited parking all day.
There is also parking very near the ground which is free on the industrial estate to the south of the ground. This I would avoid as the fans all walk back this way and you really have to wait until they've all passed (20 minutes or so) or you risk being shouted at by people angry you're driving through the crowds!
Sunniside is another car park which is slightly further from the ground, but it has the advantage of being attached to a casino and cinema if either of those things interest you. It's about 5 minutes further away than St Mary's, again, you should find it on google maps easily.
The city centre is fine to drink in, even wearing colours in most places. The football ground guide gives a good report. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.footballgroundguide.com/sunderland/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.footballgroundguide.com/sunderland/</a>
I would also recommend the colliery tavern, which is just off the east stand and about a two minute walk from the ground. For away fans it's literally a 5 minute walk to get from there to the North Upper where you're situated.
I hope you find this info helpful and if you have any other questions I'll try and get on in the next couple days to respond.
Enjoy the game

Sunniside car park is normally quieter than the other 2 main ones. Debenhams and St Mary's. If you park in there and it's not Bank holiday rates then just buy a coffee from Franky and bunnies and they will stamp your ticket. So in theory you could park all day for £1.65
