No, not that seemingly exercised by the Chur, but what the council off of bury are offering Trippier, despite him appearing to give an outrageous salute...
Quite interesting as he attended Woodhey School, the now retired headmaster being Mr Martin Braidley, an avid (mainstand) Dale supporter until he retired in 2013. (Where is he now?). Other ex pupils he apparently helped educate at Woodhey were Tom Kennedy and Nicky Adams.

Why 'allegedly'?
When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?
Freedom of a Town/City etc usually means all amenities are free,eg,Cinemas,meals in a restaurant,etc
No it doesn't.
It's an ancient honorary title and custom, awarded to very few citizens, which allows them to drive livestock (sheep, cattle etc., ) through the town without charge or fee (as others had to pay).
Free passage of goods and livestock, hence: Freedom of the Borough.

Well,in Hudds,a person who is granted freedom of the city can do the things i state.The tab is picked up by the local authority.Of course,the person granted the entitlement does not have to go ahead with the freebies etc.

You've clearly been misinformed. This is from the Huddersfield Examiner........
The honour of Freedom of a Borough dates back hundreds of years in some cases, but obviously only back to 1974 as far as Kirklees goes.
* Since the 1835 Municipal Corporations Act borough councils have continued to be given the power to appoint Freemen.
But the law has gradually reduced the privileges associated with the office.
The 1972 Local Government Act introduced the major change in powers and structures of councils which continued this power.
* Before the year 1835 freemen existed in many boroughs as a constituent part of the corporation.
* Freemen enjoyed special rights, dependent on local customs, such as rights of pasturage on corporate land and exemptions from certain tolls and dues.
* Borough councils can make Freemen of people of distinction and persons who have rendered eminent services to the borough.
So......No free meals, nights out, free taxi rides, train rides, beer, cinema, theatre or any other perks are pemitted. It relates only to ancient and historic rights.

Our near neighbours were bestowed with the Freedom of the Borough . From Rochdale B.C. Newsroom Press Release of March 14 2014.
"The Mayor and Ex-Hornets player, Councillor Peter Rush, civic dignitaries and distinguished guests packed the town hall to hear how Rochdale Hornets' season had impacted on residents across the borough. Councillor Rush said: “It’s an honour to be able to present the Rochdale Hornets with the Freedom of the Borough in my mayoral year. It is my great pleasure to be addressing everyone here this evening not only as the first resident of Rochdale, but as a Hornets fan.” Councillor Colin Lambert, who proposed the honour said: “This is a way for our borough to show how proud we are of are of Rochdale Hornets, whose success last season reflected very well on the team and the borough as a whole. The Freedom of the Borough is very rarely used and only awarded to local people who have made a significant contribution to the locality or have achieved something outstanding.” Ryan Bradley, Chief Executive of the Rochdale Hornets added: “Becoming an honorary freeman is a great achievement and one of the proudest moments in the club’s 142 years. “The achievement recognises not just the victory over Oldham in the Kingstone Press Championship One play-off final last season, but the hard work of the staff, our ongoing community work and our dedication to the principles of co-operation that keep us at the heart of the Rochdale borough community.” “On behalf of all of our members, I would like to thank Councillors Lambert, Dearnley and Kelly for recognising our contribution and we vow to carry on representing Rochdale on a national stage in one of the toughest sports there is while keeping the people of Rochdale at the heart of everything we do.” Rochdale Borough Council unanimously voted to grant its highest honour, The Freedom of the Borough, to the team at a special meeting of council in January. This historic event is honoured by presenting the recipients with an inscribed scroll showing the council’s recognition of their achievements. Representatives of the rugby club were presented with their scroll before enjoying refreshments in the Great Hall"
