So that’s an Ashton Gate wrap for the season. It’s been a ride. It’s tilted towards collapsing at times but has never gone under - a characteristic that will be needed if Bristol City are to progress along their three-year path in August.
The romping of Hull City at BS3 in the final home game of the 2021/22 campaign was a hopeful glance into the future of where the Robins want to be and what they need their home ground to become.
It would be wrong, on this final game at home, to not reflect on a strange season, but if there was ever going to be a result to penetrate the secretive deflector shields protecting an underwhelming season, then winning 5-0 at home certainly does that.
