Why would you want that job back?
They've already sacked you once. Even if it was entirely unjustified (and based on the fact that you have an appeal I'm guessing that's the case here), then who's to say they won't engineer another reason in a month or two? It you truly deserved to be sacked then accept it and move on, if you didn't then accept that someone there wants you out. Either way that job will never be yours again, even if you get reinstated - you'll always have a question mark hanging over you as to whether it wasn't actually the right action after all.

If you feel you were unjustly sacked, then the best thing to do is to turn this appeal to your advantage. Instead of going cap-in-hand and pleading for your old position, outline why they were wrong, then ask that they pay you for your notice period and any outstanding salary/holiday; no more, no less. Then move on with your pride intact and your wallet fat. If you genuinely did deserve it, then walk in, apologise and leave.

Either way, go get a copy of the local job paper.
