This game was played at Perth Oval but was technically a home game for Canberra. Due to work being done at Bruce Stadium, specifically the resurfacing of the pitch to rid them of some pest or other, the Cosmos opted to 'give' the game to Perth for a share of the gate. This caused no end of complaints from other NSL clubs. Envy mainly.
