Arrows fans will agree that their team's most glorious hour was their 1932 defeat of the team who where then the European champions, the Vratsa Vultures , in a match that lasted sixteen days in conditions of dense fog and rain. The club supporters' old practice of shooting arrows into the air from their wands every time their Chasers scored was banned by the Department of Magical Games and Sports in 1894, when one of these weapons pierced the referee, Nugent Potts , through the nose.
