London Wasps employs 46 players plus 47 'management & admin'. Wycombe Wanderers has 60 players plus 43 admin. So, 93 + 103 = 206 and it's not stated how many of these are part-time, seasonal, etc.
The airfield and tenants are responsible for employing around 250 people. So, the clubs do not provide more employment, nor is it year round.
