These popped up on Twitter recently, taken before the home game versus bury on Saturday 2nd October 1982.
The photographer has spent a large part of lockdown digitising his ground images, which he took in the early-1980s.
They certainly brought back some memories of what lower league grounds used to be like.

The Wimbledon history site has an 'On this day feature' and the match for today is our home game against them in 1982. It has a couple of pictures and a newspaper report. I can't link to the actual pictures for some reason but if you go to the following link you can click on the pictures to get a much bigger view: http://www.historicaldons.com/ I imagine it will be a different picture and story tomorrow.
Looks like a bit of a kit clash, though it is in black and white. Eric Snookes wearing number 11 is a bit odd. Match featured the current Wimbledon manager.
Crowd was 1,097, which puts things in perspective. |  | | |

My first-ever Dale game, as posted here:
I've actually got some pics from that game courtesy of The Dons' photographer of the time, who oddly moved on to become MK Dons' snapper.
It was White/White/White v Yellow/Yellow/Yellow | |

There was a football on the covers in 85/86, but it was just a generic image rather than that one. | |
