Only my opinion, but I know quite a few blues, including myself, who need to get the other half on side early doors. This year we've got a better chance of getting an away trip to Europe because the girls are getting more used to idea - we're really are, actually quite good.
The women have got so familiar with us City lads not having quite the number of games/opportunities to deal with compared to the dark side's spouses so they know exactly how to play it and say "what about me".
So we're going, hopefully they can be blackmailed with some token love gift lol, rather than the usual threat of all wanting to attend hence making it economically a non starter.
5000 points no chance, but that's what City supporter's clubs are all about.
