St. Andrews place for spectators (5)
I believe the answer is:
stand
'place for spectators' is the definition.
'stand' can be an answer for 'place' (standing is a kind of placing). I'm not certain of the 'for spectators' bit.
'st andrews' is the wordplay.
'andrews' becomes 'and' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'st'+'and'='STAND'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stand that I've seen before include "Be erect" , "partnership" , "Watch and do nothing to help" , "Be likely to rise" , "stick" .)
