Appropriate gathering bound for shabby cinema (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fleapit

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

'appropriate gathering bound' is the wordplay.
'appropriate' becomes 'fit' (similar in meaning).
'gathering' indicates putting letters inside.
'bound' becomes 'leap' (synonyms).
'fit' going around 'leap' is 'FLEAPIT'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for fleapit that I've seen before include "dive?" , "Shabby old cinema" , "Run-down cinema" , "shabby public building" , "Scruffy cinema" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
