Abstract	The post-socialist transition in Romania can be understood in terms of a shift from moral communities to networks of influence, on the one hand, and networks of survival on the other. Additionally, central institutions no longer exert authority over the periphery. Local and regional elites have reorganised themselves into multiple networks of influence which act independently of the centre. A significant element in this process was the dismantling of the welfare state. The hypothesis of this article is that some of the ultras' brigades formed in transitioning Romania constitute specific survival networks of that period. For more than 10 years, these groups, which have consisted of neighbourhood gangs, used football as a pretext for meeting and leisure while at the same time extending kinship networks and economic exchanges. The insights offered describe the clientelist dimension to these networks and how resources are distributed, as well as the interdependencies between the leader and the rest of the members of the group.
