Crossword Genius

Someone carrying a fan (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

supporter

I believe this is a double definition.

'someone' is the first definition.
(supporter is a kind of someone)

'a fan' is the second definition.
(eg a fan of a football team)

'carrying' is the link.

(Other definitions for supporter that I've seen before include "One helping" , "angel" , "One cheers" , "Stay" , "Adherent, defender" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
