The club's fans traditionally come from the north-west part of Glasgow and pride themselves on being anti-sectarian in contrast to factions of the support of their much larger Glasgow neighbours, Celtic and Rangers. Their traditional rivals (other than the Old Firm) are Clyde F.C..
The club also draws many temporary fans, as the ground is close to the University of Glasgow. Many students from outside Glasgow choose to follow Thistle while there, some ending up supporters for the rest of their lives.
CBS' The Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson is a known supporter of Partick Thistle as well.

Support
Thistle's best ever placing in the Scottish League is third place, which they have achieved on three occasions: 1947-48, 1953-54 and 1962-63.
