I don't want to be perceived as one of theses "churners" but I have to admit that since joining dooyoo a week ago I have written quite a few opinions. In fact this is my second opinion today (not in this category mind, that would just be silly) And I am sorry if I am a churner- I only found out what they are today. There are a couple of reasons why I just had to write about this particular subject, in particular the fact that I can't believe dooyoo have even mentioned little 'ol Hereford and the fact that I live there and the clubs are absolutely rubbish.

There are 4 main clubs in Hereford. All of these clubs have one thing in common and that is the sheer lack of activity, but because you should avoid these clubs for their individual reasons I have listed them below in order of greatness.

1. The best club,and biggest in my opinion is the Crystal Rooms. It has quite a lot of regular famous guest dj?s including Judge Jules, John 00fleming, Lisa Lashes and Boy George. The downside to this place, depending on your personal preferences is that its either full of pill heads, or on saturdays, even worst, cheesy music. At this point I would like to say, if any of you are from Hereford, don't kill me next time you are in town, I just don?t think much of the club scene around 'ere. OK Bo'? By the way, the drinks cost about £2.40 and water cost more. I have had my mobile and wallet stolen from me here.

2. At second place we have the Jail house. This could well be a prison for underage scateboarders. Here they sometimes have good music, live DJ's and cheap vodka- but that's about it really. There is a grotty little place where you can sit down and have a rest here. A tiny little dance floor is good enough as hardly anybody is brave enough to have a dance. When I was a young boy, I thought it was great- then I hit puberty. Oh yeah, I had my wallet stolen from here also.

3. Play.Really cheesy music an
d extremely expensive drinks. I brought 3 double vodkas and it came to about £12. In the Jailhouse you could get that for £3. They even have a cash machine in the club, which is strange for such a small one. They do have a nice outside bit now, but it doesn't make up for the place witch is covered with tacky little dancing cages and has a tiny dance floor.

4. Eros, formally know as Marylins ,the worst of them all. Cheese city. I cannot even justify writing more than that on the matter because it is just sooooooo bad. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

There you have it. Sorry to moan and all that. These please should be avoided, unless you live in Hereford then there really isn't much else, except from the Barrels which is a really good pub. There also also a Pub-Club thing called Manhattens which has free pool and cheap drinks, but is full of Goths. Take your pick. The town as a whole is a really nice place, and I love it. Most of the people are the nicest you will ever meet, it's just that because there isn't much of a night life here, which is frustrating for us young'ns that some people get a bit aggressive when drunk.

Ah well, so Hereford won't be taking over the Ibiza mantle any day soon then..?
And you must hold on to your wallet more tightly! ;)

LOL @ churner! Never mind! Once you've got over the initial enthusiasm and stop to think, it's obvious the time spent reading and rating has to come from the members as well as the writing isn't it? You should see the early pages on my profile! Ten times more cringeworthy than yours I assure you!

Good op, shame about the low quality of clubs around your way, sounds like a nightmare.
