Contact team to get best position for spectators? (8)
I believe the answer is:
ringside
'best position for spectators?' is the definition.
(right by a boxing ring)
'contact team' is the wordplay.
'contact' becomes 'ring' (to contact by phone).
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'ring'+'side'='RINGSIDE'
'to get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ringside that I've seen before include "where people come close to fighting" , "area close to fight" , "Location of best seats at boxing contest" , "good seats" , "location near fighting" .)
