Steve Evans has slammed Luton for failing to acknowledge Crawley’s Conference title win.

The Hatters’ players refused to provide the customary guard of honour before Tuesday’s Broadfield clash which finished 1-1.

Evans said: “I did expect the Luton players to give my players a guard of honour but obviously they were told not to do that.

“I know a number of the Luton players personally and I know what was said to them about a guard of honour but I won’t compromise them or embarrass the individuals concerned. It is disappointing to say the least but it won’t change where we are heading next season.

“Luton Town are the giant football club in the Blue Square Bet premier and they should help set the standards. They have the most fantastic supporters and had it been reversed and they were champions they would have expected it from us. The difference is we would have done it.

“I can remember on one occasion I was alongside my (Boston United) players in a guard of honour after Doncaster Rovers were champions. It is only right and respectful.”
