The controversial franchise side's new stadium will be completed in 2006, but the club won't move in until 2007.
Manager Danny Wilson told BBC Sport: "We think the stadium might be ready in October but we are going to delay the move until 2007.
"That date will provide a celebration for the town as it coincides with 40 years of Milton Keynes' development.
"It's a new dawn for everybody at the club with our own stadium and our own identity
"The new stadium will be absolutely fantastic. It's taking shape and it looks brilliant. "
