Hearts administrator gets a boost

Administrator Bryan Jackson is optimistic Hearts will reach the season ticket sales needed to keep the ailing club afloat. Accountancy firm BDO took control of the Edinburgh club last week and set a target of selling 3,000 more season tickets to keep going over the summer.

‘Sales started off very well. I understand we got to nearly 500 by yesterday,’ Jackson told BBC Scotland. ‘This was more than we’d anticipated and it shows the demand is there.’

Hearts had already sold 7,000 season books before entering administration but the money raised through those sales has already gone
