In the old days (pre '81 I think) the away team used to get about 45% of the gate money.
These days the home team keeps it all, although if you buy your tickets from the away club, I believe that they keep something like 5% as a handling fee. Hence a number of people posting recently encouraging away fans to buy direct from the home team.
