Sorry to have to follow up but 28 seems a terrible clue. What is the definition? I can’t make ear or era fit the answer. Also I have ??ME?IDE for the place which I just can’t get even with reference to a football ground.
A word for stage is an anagram of 'era'
Apologies - I looked at 26 rather than 25. It's difficult to give a hint for that. Opposite of 'wild' + a word for flank.
