Stage crew run over crazy ideas (7)

I believe the answer is:

roadies

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stage crew' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'run over crazy ideas' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation**).
'crazy' is an anagram indicator.
'ideas' with letters rearranged gives 'adies'.
'r'+'o'+'adies'='ROADIES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roadies that I've seen before include "Transport managers" , "Pop group's tour assistants" , "They handle the equipment for entertainers" , "Band tour crew" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
