A Democrat free to support province's team (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

real madrid

'team' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a democrat free to support province's' is the wordplay.
'democrat' becomes 'd'.
'free' becomes 'rid' ('rid' can be a synonym of 'free'**).
'to support' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'province' becomes 'realm' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'d'+'rid'='adrid'
'adrid' put after 'realm' is 'REAL MADRID'.

(Other definitions for real madrid that I've seen before include "Players" , "Some footballers" , "soccer team" , "Spanish football team" , "side" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
