All members or ticket holders shall pay the admission charges to the ground and stands.[1] The gate receipts shall be approximately divided immediately after the match, and a full statement and settlement shall be made within seven days of the match.[2] Clubs which, in the Qualifying Competition, do not charge for admission to their ground shall not be entitled to a share of the admission charges of other Clubs in re-played matches.

If consent is not given, the share shall be taken by the Association.

The home Club must, even in cases where the gate money is insufficient, pay the fees and travelling expenses of the officials.
