Ban from clubs I would visit regularly on Saturdays? Yes (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ostracise

'ban' is the definition.
(I know that ban can be written as ostracise)

'clubs i would visit regularly on saturdays? yes' is the wordplay.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'would visit' is an insertion indicator.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'on'+'saturdays'+'yes'='onsaturdaysyes'
The alternate letters of 'onsaturdaysyes' are 'ostrase'.
'c'+'i'='ci'
'ci' going within 'ostrase' is 'OSTRACISE'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for ostracise that I've seen before include "Blacklist" , "exile" , "Socrates and I are made to exclude from society" , "Banish, blackball" , "Exclude, blackball" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
