Pay for exhibition area at fair (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pay for' is the first definition.
(as in to stand someone a drink)

'exhibition area at fair' is the second definition.
(as in a stand or display at a fair)

(Other definitions for stand that I've seen before include "group of trees" , "Remain upright" , "Watch and do nothing to help" , "stay the same in position" , "partnership" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
