Crossword Genius

Carriage, they say, for spectators ... (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gate

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

'carriage they say' is the wordplay.
'carriage' becomes 'gait' (I've seen this before).
'they say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'gait' is a homophone of 'GATE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gate that I've seen before include "Means of entry" , "Movable barrier in a fence or wall" , "Portal" , "Barrier - door" , "Movable opening" .)
