Position close to the action? (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
ringside seat
'position close to the action?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ringside seat that I've seen before include "Position close to the action" , "Best place to see boxing match?" , "Best view at a boxing match" , "Place with a good view" , "Good place from which to observe" .)
