Surely there's an easy way to do this:
All revenue generated by the home club's website is kept by the home club. That's simple enough.
For revenue generated by the away club's website, all revenue is split 95/5 in favour of the home side, up to the average away allocation for last season. Any away revenue generated beyond 100% of the average away allocation is kept entirely by the away side.
For example, if our average away allocation last season was 1200 tickets (no idea what it actually was), and Sunderland sell 3000 iFollow passes, we keep 95% of revenue generated for the first 1200 passes sold, and Sunderland get 5% of the first 1200, and 100% of the remaining 1800.

I assume the majority of EFL clubs must have voted in favour of the split referred to in the OP? I guess it's the smaller clubs suffering, hopefully, we're not one of them!

Yes, as I understand it, that is already the concept, and how it currently works.
If, say Ipswich were anticiapted to bring 1000 fans to the Mem for our home game, we would get the money from all our home fans, and the first 1000 away passes from Ipswich fans. Ipswich would get the money from away passes above the first 1000; minus VAT and the EFL / iFollow fees. That would replicate the anticipated attendance, including the away fans.
IFollow claim that at least 70% of net Ifollow revenue goes to the club.
I do think that more could be done to explain this to our fans, as an incentive to help direct much needed additional funds to the club.
UTG!

The club tweeted earlier we had over 1,400 fans watch the Sunderland game so that means we banked £9,000, although 1,400 doesn't seem that great for an attractive looking first game of the season, I fear that figure will be below 1,000 for tomorrows match.

I be honest, I'd happily give £10-15 a week to the club, which is the sort of money I would spend on match day.
