This has made my day. As reported by Joe at Digital Spy, a
dedicated Coronation Street fan has launched a petition in protest at the
schedule being taken over by the football during the Euro 2020 qualifier
matches.
Between the 9th and 16th October
Corrie will be off-air and viewers aren’t happy. The petition reads:
“ITV
cancelling Corrie for football will ruin many people’s evenings and routines of
years and is unfair. Show earlier or later or on ITV2 is the better answer.
Sign this so ITV see the loyal fans are outraged”.
Oooh
they are. I hadn’t actually seen this snippet of news so I have to admit I’m
pretty miffed myself now. Let’s see if the powers that be take any notice of
the petition.
Power
to the people I say.
