Coronation Street fans are furious that the soap has been axed this evening

And fans aren’t pleased about waiting an extra day for their daily dose of the much-loved show.

Many took to Twitter to share their frustration over the channel’s decision.

One wrote: “It actually annoys me that they take @itvcorrie off for the football. There’s literally 4 ITV channels why not show the football on one of those or why not show Corrie on ITV 2 instead ?”

A second said: “Why can’t ITV put the football on ITV 4 instead of ITV1 then they can watch both of the soaps?”

Tonight’s double bill has been dropped because of the football

The show usually airs two instalments on a Monday, and the same on a Wednesday, then followed by an hour long episode on Friday at 7.30pm.

But for now, fans will have to see what is instore for the residents in Weatherfield tomorrow instead.

Corrie isn’t the only soap to contend with sports matches – last week EastEnders fans were up in arms after it was pulled off air to make room for the rugby.

One disgruntled fan wrote at the time: “They should put the rugby on BBC 2 and leave EastEnders on BBC 1 at its normal time slot.”

While a second said: “#Eastenders. No show tomorrow night due to the blasted rugby. But I’ll be back on Monday night at 20:00pm when the drama continues.”

Earlier this week Corrie fans were left LIVID with Asha Alahan after “idiotic” mistake with ex Corey Brent.

Others were left convinced that Les Battersby is going to make a shock return after daughter Toyah dropped a massive hint about him.
