Is it possible we will have to play in a preliminary round before the first round?
The last time we had to do this, from memory, was because an extra team (Ipswich Town) qualified for Europe through the fair play league and so the number of teams in the first round had to be altered.
Given that a West Ham have qualified via the same route could we face a play off game again?

No. Ipswich were in it even though they'd been relegated so it messed up the numbers of league teams. West Ham weren't relegated so it isn't relevant.

No byes. A total of 70 clubs . 24 from div two. 24 from div one and another 22 clubs. Last year I believe 20 were from the championship and two relegated from the prem. But I will stand to be corrected.

I reckon the south seeded teams will be big one's like Birmingham Cardiff Fulham Charlton Brighton Reading QPR ( one relegated ) and YES City!
So we could be playing any of the above.
Update..
We can add Wolves Ispwich Swindon ..

I was there for that and I was there for our (hopefully) only appearance in the FA Trophy. Everyone else is just a part-timer - 'where were you when we dreamed of merely being s**t?' etc |

How depressing. |
