Support clubs in remote region (9)
I believe the answer is:
backwoods
'remote region' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'support clubs' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'back' (to back is to support or endorse).
'clubs' becomes 'woods' (wood is a kind of club).
'back'+'woods'='BACKWOODS'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for backwoods that I've seen before include "remote regions" , "Remote region" .)
