It wasn’t all that long after Selhurst had become the first Football League ground to be the subject of a non-temporary or emergency ground-sharing agreement, with Charlton Athletic briefly – and perhaps unthinkably in today’s game – taking up residency in 1985. Upon Charlton’s departure for Upton Park in 1991, however, one curious marriage was replaced with another, as Wimbledon became the next temporary tenants of Selhurst. And so it came to pass that, ahead of the 1991/92 season – the last of the pre-Premier League days, with both sides in the First Division – Wimbledon reached an agreement with Palace for a temporary ground-share plan. The first meeting of landlords Palace and tenants Wimbledon, in August 1991, was something of a retro football classic, the Eagles emerging on top following a five-goal thriller. It was success which would continue, Palace winning eight and losing just five of the 17 such clashes.
