Entering the 1960s, Pontevedra CF finally got to play in the second tier after a brutal play-off against Burgos CF. The club was promoted in La Puentecilla, a name still craved in many supporters' minds. The Granates, nicknamed after the kit's colour, were about to enter their best ever decade. In Segunda, they started with two mid-table finishes. The third year was successful, and the club got promoted to the elite in a brilliant campaign. However, the season did not go as they had hoped, and they got relegated, a 1-0 win over Di Stefanos and Puskas' Real Madrid was the highlight of their brief stay. Pontevedra CF won promotion again in the following year, and the first division bore witness to a hard-working and tough squad. The team would be with the best of the best of Spain from 1965 to 1970. The club's motto gained form in those years - Hai Que Roelo. In direct translation, it is something like: you must gnaw it. This is associated with the fact that Pontevedra CF, playing in their stadium, Pasarón, were an extremely difficult team to beat. Even the country's best, Real Madrid, Barcelona or Athletic Bilbao, feared to face the Galician squad at Pasarón. In 90 matches over this period in Pasarón, the team only lost 19. Within these glory days emerges the biggest club idol - Eduardo Da Pena Lis, better known as Cholo. He played over a hundred games in Primera and embodied the Hai Que Roelo in flawless form, commanding the troops from the defensive line. The Capitán died in 2022, and his ashes are buried in Pasarón's field.

After five seasons of immense success, the supporters were sentenced to say goodbye to the first division. The team would play the Segunda for three seasons and then get relegated to the third tier. Even though they made a comeback in 1976-77 for a single season, the club's reality onwards was the third division. Pontevedra Club de Fútbol has been unable to play professional football, except for 2004-05, after the fall in the seventies. Moreover, the club had some drops into the fourth tier throughout these years, and it is at that level that the team is playing in the current season.

Nowadays, they are the league's leaders, and supporters are hopeful they will see a promotion by the end of the season. Furthermore, the Copa del Rey campaign has not been short of extraordinary as well. Their first encounter was against Levante; the second division side lost in Pontevedra 4-1. Next came Villarreal; the La Liga royalty also got beaten by the Granates, 1-0. The draw set Mallorca to face the Galego squad at Pasarón, with 10292 spectators. This was hell for the visitors. Before the start of the match, the stadium's surrounding area was occupied by happy supporters already celebrating the club's performance in the cup. However, when the game started, the passion and pride for the team was in full force. Siareixs Granates, the club's ultra group, displayed a tifo, where the Hai Que Roelo motto took central importance. Remembering what the phrase stands for, the ultras effectively set the tone for the game. The desire to win was evident. With every dubious decision by the referee, every tackle or corner won, the people would jump from their seats and exercise otherworldly pressure on the field. It became notorious how Pasarón gave last year's runners’ up of the cup a bad time. In the 24th minute, Pontevedra CF took the first step into the round of 16. Dalisson De Almeida scored a golazo, surprising the opposition goalkeeper from afar. Half-time came, and with little surprise, the home team were deserved leaders. The second half could not have started better. Yelko Pino, the team's captain, scored their second. With a beautiful goal inside the opposing box, the dream of winning against another first division squad was getting more serious. Mallorca were clearly lost on the field, while Pontevedra CF were clearly the better team. The final nail in the coffin came in the 72nd minute when the visitor's defence offered the ball to Rufo Sánchez, who only had to calmly slot it into the back of the net. After the final whistle, an enormous party erupted in Pasarón. The team done a lap of honour before stopping at Fondo Norte, the North Stand, where Siareirxs Granates were. The ultras chanted for the full 90 minutes, and the players came to thank their support and also to celebrate close to its people what was an outstanding achievement.
