I liked what we did to return the favour when the German fans visited Scotland. We'd manufacture "Reebok Official Sponsor" lanyards which got you into the posh hospitality suite in the stadium for all the free food/alcohol you could manage to consume. It was silly - every 5 mins you'd just order a waitress to bring you another 15 bottles of Coors Light (another team sponsor) and they'd to it until there were about 50 bottles with one sip-out at your table.
It's surprisingly easy to do these things when the security company they've employed are a bunch on numpties.
