Receipts over year involving new team (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gate money

'receipts' is the definition.
(amount of money received by a sporting event)

'over year involving new team' is the wordplay.
'over' becomes 'gone' (both can mean finished or in the past).
'year' becomes 'y'.
'involving' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'gone'+'y'='goney'
'team' anagrammed gives 'atem'.
'goney' enclosing 'atem' is 'GATE-MONEY'.

(Another definition for gate money that I've seen is " proceeds for admission".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
