# 2012–13 Perth Glory FC season

The 2012–13 season was Perth Glory's 8th season since the inception of the A-League and 16th since the club's founding, in 1996. It was their third season with Ian Ferguson as head coach (he was replaced by Alistair Edwards in February 2013).

## Home Stadia

Due to redevelopment reducing the capacity to 9500, the 2012/2013 A-League season saw the club reclaim Patersons Stadium (formerly Subiaco Oval) as a home stadium in addition to their traditional home at nib Stadium. Perth Glory had not competed at Patersons Stadium since the 2003–04 National Soccer League (NSL) Preliminary Final, where they defeated Adelaide United by five goals. Perth Glory began their campaign against Brisbane Roar at Patersons Stadium, a rematch of the 2012 A-League Grand Final.
