Odd bits of footy gear found in the lobby (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foyer

'the lobby' is the definition.
('foyer' can be a synonym of 'lobby')

'odd bits of footy gear' is the wordplay.
'odd bits of' means one should take alternating letters.
'footy'+'gear'='footygear'
The alternating letters of 'footygear' are 'FOYER'.

'found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for foyer that I've seen before include "Reception lobby" , "Theatrical" , "Theatre public area" , "Lobby of hotel, etc." , "Theatre entrance hall" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
