1990–91 Wimbledon F.C. season 1990–91 Wimbledon F.C. season During the 1990–91 English football season, Wimbledon F.C. competed in the Football League First Division. In the 1990-91 season under Harford's first full campaign in charge, Warren Barton was purchased for £300,000 whilst in the league, Wimbledon had another strong season, finishing in 7th place. Nothing came of the plans for a new ground and at the end of the season, Wimbledon's board decided that Plough Lane was beyond redevelopment to meet the new FA rule requiring all-seater stadiums. Consequently, the club moved to Selhurst Park before the start of next season, ground-sharing with Crystal Palace.
Plough Lane stadia including the regulation that the stadia of teams at the highest level be made all-seater by August 1994, the board of the club decided that Plough Lane could not be economically redeveloped to meet the new standards. The work required to modernise Plough Lane would have been difficult and expensive, but not impossible as the board claimed. A supposedly temporary groundshare with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park was announced the same year, to begin from the start of the 1991–92 season. Wimbledon's final first team match at Plough Lane came on 4 May 1991, coincidentally against Crystal Palace. 10,002
