Pitch to 1000 young women offering the long view (5,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

field glasses

'the long view' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'pitch to 1000 young women' is the wordplay.
'pitch' becomes 'field' (I've seen this before).
'to 1000' becomes 'g' ('G' can be a synonym of '1000').
'young women' becomes 'lasses'.
'field'+'g'+'lasses'='FIELD GLASSES'

'offering' is the link.

(Other definitions for field glasses that I've seen before include "Binoculars" , "They help bird-spotter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
