It's fair to differeniate between the Final and Final Replay. That's the tradition in England for the FA Cup anyway.
1984 Final Replay had an estimate of 8,000 between UCD and Shamrock Rvs. It was considered the lowest attendance at the time, but that is qualified as a Replay match. Guess who got blamed for that one, ( I had homework).
It was the First Final or Final Replay in Tolka Park.
No team had lifted the cup there until Bray won in 1999. The Replay and second Replay in that year may compete with the 1984 figure.
(I think if a fan comes from a tradition of Blame when there are low attendances then that fan shouldn't be suprised when it's their turn.)
