Notes
A. ^ From 1923-1936, the FAI Cup was known as the Free State Cup.
B. ^ Attendances were calculated using gate receipts which limited their accuracy as a large proportion of people, particularly children, attended football matches in Ireland throughout the 20th century for free by a number of means.
gollark: How would you take over the world with it? You can bruteforce anything which fits into 1KB (are we assuming 1KiB here, not 1000 bytes exactly?), which is not that much.
gollark: "None are safe" is correct as an approximation, not *strictly*.

gollark: `OverflowError: factorial() argument should not exceed 9223372036854775807` - how apious.
gollark: Troubling.
