empty see? anag meet spy +e for point bishops seat

[sarumite]

Not so certain on answer now ... Empty Net also seems to be a solution but doesn't wholly fit clue ....

Thanks for your replies, it certainly is a tricky one!

Are you sure it's not Empty Nest---Vacant

Anagram meet spy + t (time)+n (point)

I realise that's 5,4 but is more logical

That does make a lot of sense, but as the crossword clue only has 8 letters in total, it will not fit.J.
