FC UNITED put eight past Glossop North End watched by Salford MP Hazel Blears.
The club hosted a `People United Day' as their contribution to the Kick Racism Out of Football campaign and the Labour Party chairwoman liked it so much that she abandoned plans to leave at half-time and saw the Rebels hit eight for the second time on the trot at home.
Rory Patterson was again the star performer with a brace to put the visitors out of the game after just 20 minutes.
Simon Carden added a second with a well-taken goal on the stroke of half-time.
Further strikes from Jamie Phoenix, Rhodri Giggs, Dave Chadwick and Nicky Platt made the game safe, but it was Rob Nugent's 30 yard pile-driver that really delighted the 3,257 Gigg Lane crowd and put United 10 points clear of Nantwich.
SIMON Carden struck twice late on to pinch an unlikely 3-2 victory for FC United after they'd lost goalkeeper Sam Ashton to injury.
Ashton was forced off in the 63rd minute with a knock he sustained in a failed attempt to prevent Nick Wellecombe giving hosts Newcastle Town a shock 2-1 lead at the Lyme Valley Stadium.
With no substitute keeper on the bench, striker Rory Patterson took over in goal, but, despite the handicap, the rebel reds bounced back to snatch a win which takes them nine points clear of second-placed Salford City.

Boss Karl Marginson said: "The boys showed great character to come back under difficult circumstances. I couldn't have asked for more."
Steve Spencer slotted FC United into a 36th-minute lead, but it was quickly wiped out by Dave Berks.
Marginson's men appeared to be heading for only their second defeat of the season when Ashton was carried off after Wellecombe had struck.
But Carden tapped in a 76th-minute equaliser before volleying home the winner more than four minutes into stoppage-time.
The reds made it victory 14 out of 15 for the season on Saturday with an 8 - 0 walkover against Squires gate. Rory Patterson was in superb form once again scoring his first of four after just four minutes. Stuart Rudd joined Rory amongst the goals ten minutes later with his first of what was to be a hatrick. It was 5-0 to FC by half time with captain for the day Patterson already with four goals to his name.
Rudd got his second straight after the break, latching onto a through ball before cool slotting home. Rudd's hatrick was completed in bizzare fashion though, as play was stopped for an injury to Patterson, Squires Gate's keeper restarted by throwing the ball right infront of Rudd, to leave him a clear run on goal into an emtpy net.
The scoring was capped off on 90 minutes when young substitute Danny Shannon came on to head home after a great delivery from Rhodri Giggs.
FC UNITED returned to winning ways in the league with a 3-0 demolition of St Helens Town.
The Reds proved the 2-1 defeat to Salford City was behind them with an assured performance in front of 1,851 fans at Gigg Lane.
Simon Carden grabbed his third goal of the week to begin the rout after good work from Rory Patterson then striker Stuart Rudd added a second with a header from a Josh Howard free-kick.
The third was a free header for Dave Brown from a Mortimer corner.

It was revealed on Thursday that Adie Orr has left the club to try and find first team football. He leaves with every good wish from the fans and will always be one of the greats for the club. Most memorable being the scorer of FC's first ever hatrick.
United booked their place in the second round of the FA Vase on saturday with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Padiham.
A determined Padiham side held out the reds until 25 minutes from time, when fresh from his return from honeymoon, Simon Carden struck from close range after linking up well with Giggs. Carden added his second and United's second eight minutes later to confirm victory against a Padiham side who'd done well to keep United out but did little to threaten Sam Ashton's goal. Top goalscorer for the season Stuart Rudd wrapped up the scoring on 90 minutes with a beautifully taken lob over the keeper.
FC now face Salford City away in the 2nd round in a return to the scene of their first defeat this season.
Salford wrecked FC United's record winning streak with two late goals in front of 4,058 fans at the Willows Tuesday night.
Super sub Jamie Bagguley crashed in a 30-yard free kick to draw the Tangerines level and in injury time Nick Robinson scored a deserved second to prevent the Rebels from clocking up a 13th straight win.
FC had taken the lead through Josh Howard with ten minutes to go, when keeper Sam Ashton picked him out from 60 yards with a great free kick and the former Manchester United youth team captain smashed a volley across Salford keeper Andy Moores.
But the Salford team rose to a great non-league occasion, and so did Salford folk. They turned out in their droves to support their local team, some curious, some with a sense of civic duty, as well as a smattering of confused rugby league types.
The city's Mayor was there, and British light-middleweight champion Jamie Moore was spotted wandering to the stadium, dressed in a pair of flowery red and white beach shorts!
The crowds built up outside, with kick-off twice delayed. By the time they had made their way through the foul weather, there was the kind of attendance which the Willows normally gets for a Super League game.
Salford were clearly fired up for the match, hammering into tackles and disrupting FC's usual passing game.
They also created more first half chances, Matty Eckersley firing just wide and Dale Whitehead hitting the bar from 25 yards.
But it was the visitors who had the best chance of the half, Matty Taylor swinging in a cross from deep on the right. Top scorer Stuart Rudd stretched out a toe but Salford keeper Moores made a terrific reflex save to keep it out.
The second half was tight and competitive, the Salford support loving it when sub Tunji Moses - son of former Manchester United midfielder Remi - was booked for a two-footed assault on Will Ahern.
But when Salford snatched it late on, there were few arguments that they were worth the victory.
