What St. Andrew's has, that holds the spectators (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand

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

'what st' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'andrew's has that holds the spectators' is the wordplay.
'andrew' becomes 'St Andrew' (synonyms).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'that holds the spectators' becomes 'and' (I can't justify this - if you can 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 "Get to one's feet" , "principled position" , "Decline to interfere when one should?" , "Raised platform; tolerate" , "Remain unaltered, tolerate" .)
