Exciting ten days for us followers? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entourage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'us followers?' is the definition.
'entourage' can be an answer for 'followers?' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'us' bit.

'exciting ten days' is the wordplay.
'exciting' indicates an anagram.
'days' becomes 'ourage' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ten' is an anagram of 'ent'.
'ent'+'ourage'='ENTOURAGE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entourage that I've seen before include "Retinue, cortege" , "Supportive group" , "A star may have one" , "company" , "The people accompanying a VIP" .)
