Why Play Nightclub in Hereford is the best and worst club in the country

We all hate to love a Thursday night out in PNH

| UPDATED

Living in a small 'city', which isn't really a city leaves little options when it comes to a big night out. PNH (to the locals) is pretty much all Hereford has to offer when it comes to a night out, with a typical night out consisting of Spoons (because obviously), Kerry (cheap Jagerbombs) and ending the night in Play.

Play 54

The opening of Play 54 is probably the most iconic thing to happen in Hereford since forever. With only one dance floor ever being open, Friday nights out became a shambles of sweaty sixth formers and 18-year-old girls on their first clubbing experience desperate to have a 'boogie' to Whatcha Say by Jason Derulo or anything by Ariana Grande.

But suddenly the arrival of 54 actually playing some oldie bangers that everyone can sing to is music to everyones ears. Because obviously everyone knows all the words of Gold Digger? However, 54 soon takes a turn for the worse when it becomes flooded with Herefordshire's Young Farmers all wearing matching shirts and Barbour gilets. Even worse than the fact they try and attempt to pull anything with a pulse is their attempt to start skanking to any drum and bass song 54 starts to play. No more please.

The VK

Thursday nights at Play were iconic for any college student, cheap entry and £1 VKs, life could not be better. Then suddenly £1 Thursdays were no more and the price of VKs has now risen to £2. But there is nothing that can be done because Play would not be the same without two, even three VK in hand so everyone knows you're a top shagger.

The audacity to charge us

From free entry at Soho in Newcastle to paying £6 after 12:20 on a Saturday night at Play is a pretty hard for the overdraft to take. Everyone knows the rush to Play before 12 for cheaper entry even though the club will pretty much be empty. It's a sacrifice everyone is willing to make to spend the extra money on a cheeky VK.

You know everyone there

Thursday nights out in play are pretty much iconic from seeing everyone from sixth form, your high school, even your primary school there is no escape.

The smoking area is basically the place to pretend how much you missed everyone from high school and chat shit about how much better uni nights out are than PNH.

Even though not technically part of Play, no night out would be complete without stumbling straight into Golden Galleon. The smell of chips and kebabs lures you in to spend all your remaining taxi money on a giant spring roll (I miss you), to wake up in the morning and see the leftovers by your bed.

We salute you Play.
