Pole cheers for City (6)
I believe the answer is:
sparta
'city' is the definition.
(Sparta is an example)
'pole cheers' is the wordplay.
'pole' becomes 'spar' (spar is a kind of pole).
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (I've seen this in other clues).
'spar'+'ta'='SPARTA'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sparta that I've seen before include "Laconic state" , "in ancient Greece" , "Formerly "City" , "Ancient country" , "Ancient Greek city, capital of Laconia" .)
