Cup game receipts are I think split something like 45% each with 10% going into the pot. That's why it's such a big deal for small teams to be drawn away to one of the big six.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that with iFollow the team you signed up with got something like 80% of the streaming fee you paid, regardless of whether you're the home or the away team. Perhaps someone could confirm this.
As for audio, isn't the fee something like £30 a season to listen to the match commentaries? So not much of a windfall for the clubs.
We do of course now get a slice of the Sky pot, but League 2 clubs get only a fraction of what Championship clubs get.
