Colchester would consider a groundshare with rivals Ipswich next season if they win promotion to the Premiership.
The U's Layer Road Stadium falls short of Premier League ground criteria and a planned new home is not expected to be ready until the 2008/09 season.
They can still make the Championship play-offs and are thinking about how they would approach the top flight.
Chief executive Marie Partner told BBC Sport: "Looking at the alternatives it would have to be Portman Road."
Colchester had hoped to move into their new ground at Cuckoo Farm this December but the Essex club is now not expected to take up residency until the 2008/09 season.
The latest developments concerning the new ground were not expected to be an issue as Layer Road has been fit to host the club for the last 70 years.
However, with promotion to the Premiership not out of the question, Layer Road could serve out its final days sooner than expected.

Hmmm... Beat them Derby! ;D
