Consideration shown by some Yorkshire spectators (7)
I believe the answer is:
respect
'consideration' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'some yorkshire spectators' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'RESPECT' is hidden in the letters of 'yorkshire spectators'.
'shown by' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for respect that I've seen before include "Have high regard for sceptre" , "Look up to" , "Treat with care, deference" , "Treat with consideration" , "Reverence" .)
