Conveying charge from governing body, with rule essentially being ignored (4)
I believe the answer is:
fare
'conveying charge' is the definition.
(cost of being transported or conveyed somewhere)
'governing body with rule essentially being ignored' is the wordplay.
'governing body' becomes 'FA' (Football Association, football governing body).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'rule' becomes 'r' (legal abbreviation).
'essentially' indicates the central letters.
'being ignored' becomes 'neglected' (synonyms).
The middle letter of 'neglected' is 'e'.
'fa'+'r'+'e'='FARE'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for fare that I've seen before include "Food - money for travelling - get on" , "Food for the table" , "Cost of travel" , "Transport charge" , "Paying passenger" .)
